Same scenario, but this time the mando is actually marked. Does that make a difference? If the TD does not mention it, is it ever in play?
The same question could be asked for OB lines.

The first scenario is seems "cut and dry": The mando is not in play.
The second scenario is very tricky. I think the PDGA rules suggest that the mando is only in play if it was stated by the TD during the players meeting, if it is marked on a course map or scorecard provided by the TD, or if it is stated on a tee sign.
Remember, you can always take a provisional if you are unsure of any rules issue and take it up with a TD at the end of the round.
