　　Q: In stroke play, a competitor hit his tee shot into the practice area. Thinking that the ball is out of bounds, he lifts it and plays another ball from the tee. He then discovers that the practice area is not out of bounds. What is the ruling?

　　A: When the player lifted his ball in play, he incurred a penalty of one stroke under Rule 18-2a and was required to replace it. However, when the player made a stroke from where the previous stroke was made (Rule 20-5), he played a ball under penalty of stroke and distance (see Decision 27/17). This procedure overrides rule Rule 18-2a and, therefore, the penalty under Rule 18-2a does not apply.

　　问：在比杆赛中，一名比赛者把球发到了练习区。他认为自己的球出界了，所以捡起球后，又从发球台另打了一个球。然后他发现练习区并不是界外。这时应该适用什么规则？

　　答：当这名球员在比赛中捡起球的时候，按照规则18-2a的规定，他就应该被罚一杆了，而且按要求得重新放置球。不过，当这名球员在上一次击球的地点进行下一次击球（规则20-5）时，他得被罚两杆（见判定27/17）。这个处置程序不符合规则18-2a，因此，规则18-2a的处罚也不适用。
