　　17-3/3 Ball Strikes Flagstick Lying on Ground
　　Q: Generally, the players ball must not strike the flagstick when removed from the hole (Rule 17-3). What is the ruling in the following situations:

　　(a) A player putts too strongly and his ball strikes the flagstick which has been removed by someone in his match or group and placed on the ground behind the hole.
　　(b) A player plays his second shot to the green and the ball strikes the flagstick, which had been blown down by the wind and was lying on the ground.
　　(c) A player, not believing he can reach the green which is occupied by the preceding match or group, plays his second shot at a par-5 hole and the ball rolls onto the green and strikes the flagstick which has been removed from the hole and placed on the ground by someone in the preceding match or group.

　　A: (a) The player incurs a penalty of loss of hole in match play or two strokes in stroke play under Rule 17-3a.

　　(b) and (c) No penalty is incurred. Rule 17-3a is not applicable in either case. It applies only when the flagstick has been removed with the players authority or prior knowledge by someone in the players match or group.

　　17-3/3 球打到了放在地上的旗杆

　　问：一般来说，当旗杆从洞中移走的时候，球员的球不得击打到旗杆（规则17-3）。在以下情况下都应该适用什么规则？

　　（a）一名球员推杆太用力，结果他的球击打到了已经被同参加比洞赛的对手或同组球员移出球洞，并放到球洞后地面上的旗杆。

　　（b）一名球员的第2杆把球打到果岭上，球击打到了已经被风吹倒在地面上的旗杆上。

　　（c）一名球员不相信他的球能上果岭，果岭已经被前面参加比洞赛的对手或前面一组球员占领，但他在这个PAR 5洞的第2杆把球打上了果岭，并击打到了已经被前面参加比洞赛的对手或前面一组球员移出球洞的旗杆上。

　　答：（a）按照规则17-3a，球员在比洞赛上就输了该洞的比赛，或在比杆赛上要被罚两杆。

　　（b）和（c）的情况下没有处罚发生。规则17-3a不适用这两种情况。只有当旗杆在球员的授意下移走，或者与他同参加比洞赛的对手球员或同组球员中的某人预先得知的情况下才适用。
