Every  week, we'll post a new rules question for you to figure out.  The answer may be found in the Rules Book,
or you may have to dig a little deeper and use the Decisions book. 
Meanwhile, if you have a specific rules question of your own that is stumping you,
send your question to and our rules gurus will try to answer it for you.

In the Match Play Championship, a player and his opponent play their 2nd shot
on a par-5 hole.  Unexpectedly, neither ball can be found.  Rather than proceeding
under Rule 27-1 for a lost ball, both players agree to a half.
What is the ruling?

A

This is acceptable - the hole is halved.

B

Both players are disqualified for agreeing to waive the Rules.

C

The player who made the suggestion loses the hole.

D

The player who made the suggestion incurs a 1 stroke penalty and they must return and finish the hole proceeding under Rule 27-1.
