So we're playing doubles yesterday at a course with a large lake that comes into play on multiple holes.

My drive lands on the edge of the shoreline, and as we approach we see the disc is OB, not OB, OB, not OB, etc. as the waves hit the shoreline it's surrounded by water, but when the wave retreats, it's half on dry land.

What would be the correct ruling?

Could I mark the disc at the moment it's not OB, then take a meter in?

In my book , that's in bounds. Player gets the benefit of the doubt.

we see the disc is OB

The disc is not moving. It's the OB that's continually changing with the waves.

So the waves didn't move the disc at all? Not even 1 millimeter?

Tough call.

This is the reason why using "water's edge" as an OB line is the least desirable option out there.

Unless, like me, you like the old "in-out-in-out". :D

I agree with Vegan Ray. To close to call goes to the player.
