The rules allow players 5 minutes to search for a lost ball; but golfers are under a lot of pressure to move on during play. Usually there are four balls in front and four balls behind. There is not much chance to stop and search properly for a lost ball in the rough, especially those lost outside ob markers. Balls lost in the water hazard are usually abandoned by the player. A player is expected to produce a new ball, drop it, take a penalty, and play on!
