I discovered quite by chance that lying on a firm surface in the recovery posture on my right side stops them almost immediately. It’s not exactly something that would be easy to do in public, but for me it works.
So – remind me again what the penalty is for getting your dog to improve your lie?
(In my teens, I used to play at a course that had a public path all along one side of the first hole, which was a long, straight par 5. You didn’t get many of them, but people DID walk dogs along it. The club had a rule called “casual dog” – if a passing dog decided to make off with your ball, you could play it from where the dog finally dropped it, or from where it was when the dog made off with it.)
