And what would you do in these circumstances?

Recently whilst playing in a medal, a Lutterworth member shot a gross 78. It was the first time he had broken 80. It was looking good. The card was checked, signed and submitted. However when putting his clubs into his car, and pulling out his ball from his pocket, the member realized that he had played the wrong ball from the rough on the eighteenth.

Our member, being a true sportsman, disqualified himself.
