　　13-4/35.8 Player Deems Ball Unplayable in Bunker, Announces His Intention to Proceed Under Rule 28a Outside Bunker and Then Rakes Bunker on New Line of Play

　　Q:A players tee shot comes to rest in a bunker in front of the putting green. He lifts the ball after deeming it unplayable and announces his intention to proceed under Rule 28a. Before walking back to play from the teeing ground again, the player smoothes his footprints in the bunker, which are on his line of play from the teeing ground. He then plays from the teeing ground. What is the ruling?

　　A:In equity (Rule 1-4), and by analogy to Exception 2 to Rule 13-4, once a player has indicated he will proceed under a Rule that requires him to make his next stroke from outside the hazard, he may smooth sand or soil in the hazard without restriction.

　　The fact that the smoothing improved the players line of play for his next stroke from the teeing ground is irrelevant as the right to smooth in these circumstances overrides any conflicting provisions in Rule 13-2.

　　However, if the player changed his mind and proceeded under Rule 28b or c, he would be in breach of Rule 13-4 for smoothing the bunker.

　　13-4/35.8 球员认定沙坑里的球不可打，并宣布他想在沙坑之外按照规则28a来处理，随后在新的打球路线上耙沙坑

　　问：一名球员发的球停在了果岭前面的沙坑，他在认定球不可打之后捡起球，并宣布他想按照规则28a来处理。在走回去发球台之前，球员平整了沙坑里他的脚印，脚印正好在他从发球台打出去的球的打球路线上。随后他从发球台打球。这时应该怎么裁定？

　　答：本着公正的原则（规则1-4），通过类比规则13-4的例外2，一旦球员已经暗示他要按照要求他在障碍区外打下一杆的规则来处理，他可以不受限制的在障碍区平整沙子或土壤。

　　事实上平整的动作改善了球员从发球区打下一杆的打球路线，但这并不相关，在这种情况下有权平整沙坑使规则13-2的任何冲突规定都无效。

　　不过，如果球员改变主意要按照规则28b或c来操作，那他就因为平整沙坑违反了规则13-4。
