ETHICS OF GOLF

No one ever promised all decisions would be easy!
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 two hundred fifty
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 ten 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.
