Or player can choice to invoke MLRE-5 (rule book / app has lots of examples of where to drop) and would be playing 6 -
Yes you always substitute another ball when taking relief. See rule 6.3b(1). Haapy New Year everyone

No you can’t presume. I suggest you get a rule book or the R&A app on your phone and read the definitions of Known and Virtually Certain and Lost Ball. Rule 17 and 18 refer to these situations. Happy reading
