Went out and played this evening and had a situation I didn't know how to handle. Off the box I hooked my ball and thought it may have gone OB/ into the water. I dropped ("drop 2 hit 3") and punched my new ball out into the fairway. After I played my shot I circled back around because there was way more room than I thought and I found my original ball. Do I take a penalty for hitting the new ball or since I found my original do I just continue? I'm trying to get better at actually playing by the rules instead of being the "I shot an 80 but had 8 gimmies and 4 mulligans guy" .
