　　Q: What is meant by the term "normal course of play" in Rule 4-3a?

　　A: A club is considered damaged in the "normal course of play" when an action related to making a stroke, a practice swing or a practice stroke results in the club being damaged. If a club is damaged by a player having subjected it to a strain which is not related to making a stroke, it is not considered damaged in the normal course of play. Examples of actions which are not covered by the term "normal course of play" include removing or replacing a club in the bag, using the club to search for or retrieve a ball, leaning on a club while waiting to play, in teeing a ball or removing a ball from the hole.

　　问：在规则4-3a里的“正常球场打球”是什么意思？

　　答：当球员的动作与击打一杆、练习挥杆或练习打一杆相关的时候，球杆被损坏了，这时的球杆就被认为是在正常球场打球时损坏的。如果球杆的损坏与击打一杆无关，那球杆的损坏就被认为不是在正常球场打球时发生的。不包括在正常球场打球时损坏的情况有，移动或者更换球包里的球杆，用球杆寻找或找回球，等待打球的时候倚靠球杆，发球或从球洞里移球。
