And so the Rock tees off at an uphill par 4 and hits a big slice and "borrow" fairway. As he drives up the buggy to hit his second shot, he noticed the golfers from the other fairway driving in reverse direction, stops and drives off. When the Rock gets to the location, he cannot find his first ball.
How many stroke penalty is this? Can penalise the other golfer or not?
Wa kaoz... and better improve. Play 3 years already still borrow fairway, damn sia suay... lol...

It's consider as lost ball, 1 ball penalty and must re-tee again.
That's the reason Golfman dislikes to play in Kranji and I hate to play at Keppel....

Unless your playing partner can witness and testified that he see your ball going over the other fairway, and both of you shouted FORE to warn the other side, upon reaching the last seen ball location and seeing the player moving off.....
* Drop and play without penalty Rule 18-1
* Search for 5 minutes and play another with 2 strokes penalty 27-1
Enjoy golfing...

Rule 18-1 can't be apply UNLESS someone witness (virtually certain) that a player's ball is moved by a outside agency (in this case, a fellow golfer from the other fairway has 'stolen' his ball). In Rock's instance, no one had witnessed that his ball was 'stolen'. Rock & his buddy mate only saw a buggy drove off.
In the absence of such knowledge and certainty, rule 27-1 apply.
However, not to confuse all the newbies including myself, there is no such 2 strokes penalty under ruling 27-1. Rule 27-1 stated that if this rule apply, it'll be just 1 stroke penalty and distance. In another words, Rock must proceed back to tee box to re-tee. If one breach this rule, it'll be another 2 strokes penalty.
Uncle Lau's 2 stoke penalty is not applicable under actual tournament condition. But under normal social game condition, some do apply such 2 stroke penalty to avoid delay.
