Unable to retrieve her original ball, she drops another ball correctly in the lateral relief area. As she is working through her yardage book and waiting for others to play, a child crawls under the bush and retrieves her ball. The child asks the caddie if he can keep the ball, when the caddie realises it is not Danni the D Grade Golfer's ball. The caddie advises Danni, and they continue searching for her ball, finding it about 1 minute later, however now 5 minutes after they began searching originally.She picks up the dropped ball and continues play with the original ball, holing out in 5 more strokes. She tees off on her next hole - what is her hole score for the 14th hole?
