What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals
and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honor and
hit your ball a modest 250 yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving
a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball,
lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway.
Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look
for his ball. Just before the permitted five minute search period
ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I
don't find it in time, I'll concede the match."
You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about 10 feet
from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your
opponent exclaim from deep in the woods: "I found it!" The second
sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the
ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping
no more than six inches from the hole
Now here is the ethical dilemma:
Do you pull the cheating bastard's ball out of your pocket and
confront him with it or do you keep your mouth shut?

It's a good joke, however if you want the real answer:
