A player whose disc is declared lost shall receive one penalty throw. If the throw was made from the tee, the player will re-tee for the next shot. If not made from the tee, the group will determine the approximate lie from which the throw was made, and the player will throw again throw from that lie. In all cases the original throw plus one penalty throw shall be counted in the player�s score.
In 2006 let's say I throw a disc 250 feet across a pond which has been declared out of bounds (shoreline defines the OB line). The disc hits the ground and rolls into the murky water. We walk around the pond, look around where the disc was last seen rolling into the water, but it's gone. The disc is not retrievable, nobody can see the disc in the water.
I have to go back to the tee and throw again, right? (And if we know in advance the water is murky, throw a provisional from the tee in the first place.)
