Dave,
It is interesting that David Fay, the USGA Executive Director, treats
lost or OB balls like a lateral hazard during most of his casual play.
This was covered in a Golf Digest interview a few years ago if I recall
correctly. He said something like "of course I don't go back and re-hit".

than needing to go back to the tee and re-hit. (Most people on public
courses -- especially crowded public courses -- play as if this were the
rule anyway.)
