What should I do if I "empty" on the fairway?

Situation: The player's ball stays on a slope, when the player establishes the position and is ready to hit the ball and start the swing. However, due to the slope problem, the player hits the ball and the ball is empty. The ball moves due to the collision.

Processing: This situation only calculates that the player has completed a shot without penalty.


What should I do if the player hits the ball bag placed by the caddy after hitting the ball?

Situation: When the player hits the ball, the ball hits the bag carried by his caddy next to the fairway and stops.

Dealing: The player should take a shot after a two-shot penalty (if it is a match play, the hole is negative), where the ball hits the bag carried by his caddy and is still.

However, in the match play, after the player hits the ball, the ball hits the bag carried by the opponent's caddy. The player can cancel the hit before any player hits the ball and try to get close to the final. The ball's location is played without penalty, or you can play in the current state of the ball. However, if the player chooses not to cancel the shot and the ball stays in or on the opponent's or his caddy's clothes or carry-on, the player must be as close as possible to the point where the object is in or on the object. Throw the ball nearby.

The ball is packed into the ball, causing the ball to be moved. Is it a penalty?

Situation: The player's ball stayed at the edge of the hole in the hole area. The player's bag car that was dragged by the caddy accidentally crushed the ball, causing the ball to be moved. Processing: After the player will be penalized for one shot, the player will continue to play after placing the moved ball back to its original position.


The player's ball is rolling, hitting the ball of the same group of players, causing the ball to move, what should I do?

Situation: After player A hits the ball, the ball hits the ball of player B who is at rest on the fairway during the rolling.

Processing: No penalty. Player B's ball should be restored to its original position. Player A's ball is hit at the stop position. The rule stipulates that when a ball in a rest position (the ball in use) is struck or rubbed from a ball that is in motion after hitting the ball, it is moved, and the ball to be moved should be repositioned. The other ball plays in the current state after the stop. Common situations in the obstacle area.


I can't determine if the ball has entered the water barrier. What should I do?

When the player hits the ball in the teeing ground, whether the ball enters the water obstacle zone or is lost outside the water obstacle zone, this is a matter of how to judge and deal with. If the ball is determined to be lost in the water obstacle zone, then the ball must be Evidence that is sufficiently valid in a water hazard area, if there is not enough valid evidence, the ball must be considered a lost ball, and the lost ball must be played after a penalty of 1 shot, near the initial position of the initial ball. . If there is sufficient evidence to prove that the ball is lost in the water barrier (whether or not the ball is in the water), the player can continue to play after receiving a penalty of one shot.


A re-plays the ball at any point in the teeing ground, the third shot.

B is behind the water obstacle zone, and the ball is thrown at the line between the initial ball and the nearest point into the water obstacle zone. As long as the ball is thrown behind the water obstacle zone, no matter how far the distance is, there is no limit, and the third shot is played.

If it is the side water obstacle zone, as an additional choice of the player, the player can choose the initial ball to enter the water entry point of the side water obstacle zone, and not the location of the ball on the boundary line equal to the distance of the ball hole zone. Throw a third shot inside.
