This is exactly what I and my golf partners do--and *all* our golf is casual golf! I'm very sensitive to the pace of play, since I'm likely to be the one bringing up the rear. I don't spend a lot of time looking for lost balls either, for that reason. If I can't find it in a minute or two, I drop one and play on.
What do folks do when they hit the ball into an adjacent fairway? Is that considered OB?
