　　Q: A player cannot determine whether a raised tuft of grass on his line of putt is loose or is attached to its roots. The player brushes the raised tuft lightly with his hand and discovers that it is attached. The position of the raised tuft is altered slighhtly by the brushing, but is has not become detached. Is the player in breach of Rule 16-1a?

　　A: No, provided he restores the raised tuft to its original position before the next stroke. A player is entitled to determine whether such a natural object on his line of putt is loose provided that, if the object is found not to be loose, (1) it has not become detached and (2) it is restored to its original position before the next stroke if its position is altered.

　　问：一名球员不能确定在他推击线上的一丛草是散置的还是连根在地上的。这名球员用手轻轻地去清除这丛草，但发现这丛草是连根在地上的。因为他的清除，这丛草的位置多少有了改变，但没有与地面分离。这名球员违反了规则16-1a码？

　　答：没有，倘若他在打一杆前恢复了这丛草原来的位置就不违反规则。一名球员有权决定在他推击线上的自然物体是否是散置的，但如果这个物体不是散置的，（1）它还没有被分离地面（2）如果物体的位置被改变了，它应该在球员打下一杆前被恢复原位。
