　　18-2a/10 Dropped Ball Lifted and Re-Dropped When It Should Have Been Played as It Lay; Ball Then Lifted Again and Placed
　　Q: In stroke play, a competitor whose ball was in a lateral water hazard elected to take relief under Rule 26-1c(i). When a ball was dropped, it rolled toward the hole but came to rest not more than two club-lengths from where it first struck the ground and not nearer the hole than the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard.

　　Incorrectly believing that Rule 20-2c applied, the competitor lifted the ball and re-dropped it, whereupon the ball rolled toward the hole as before. The competitor again lifted the ball, placed it where it first struck the ground when re-dropped and played his next stroke. Is the competitor penalized two strokes or four strokes?

　　A: Two strokes. The ball when first dropped was in play -- see Rule 20-4. The competitor was in breach of Rule 18-2a when he lifted it. Because the competitor failed to replace his ball at the spot at which it came to rest when first dropped, he incurred a total penalty of two strokes -- see penalty statement under Rule 18.

　　18-2a/10 捡起所抛的球，应该从球所在位置打球时却重新抛球；随后球再次被捡起并放置

　　问：在比杆赛上，一名比赛者的球在侧面水障碍里，他选择按照规则26-1c(i)进行补球。当球被抛后，它朝向球洞滚去，但没有停到距球第一次落地点的两球杆范围外，也没有停在比原始球最后穿过水障碍边缘那一点更接近球洞的地方。

　　比赛者错误的认为规则20-2c适用，他捡起球并重新抛球，于是球向之前一样朝向球洞滚去。比赛者再次捡起球，把它放到重新抛球时球首先击打到地面的地方，并打了下一杆。这名比赛者要被罚两杆还是4杆？

　　答：两杆。当球第一次被抛时，就成为了使用中球——见规则20-4。当比赛者捡起球的时候，他就违反了规则18-2a。因为比赛者没有把球重新放回第一次抛球后球停下来的地点，他总共要被罚两杆——见规则18的处罚规定。
