Dec 8/08: After taking his second shot at hole 9, Saadi told 'Gandhi' (Dillah) that his ball did not sound right leaving the clubface. Upon reaching his next shot, he found that the ball had been cracked and announced to make a substitute.... Gandhi protested and argue that Saadi had no option but to continue playing. Haji Musa agreed with Gandhi and further accused Saadi of using the defect ball on purpose. Haji Musa said later: "I can't accept the fact that the golf ball is cracked by a retiree...."
Being very well-versed in Golf Rules, Saadi was adamant to substitute his ball and he quoted the authority of Rule 5-3.
The Rule states that a ball is unfit for play if it is cracked, cut, or out of shape. The player may lift the ball, without penalty, to determine whether it is unfit. However, before lifting it the player must announce his intention to his opponent or fellow competitor and mark the position of his ball. If it is agreed that the ball is unfit for play then he can substitute another ball, placing it on the spot where the original ball lay. Zainudin said Saadi was right.
