　　Q: A player’s ball lies on an artificially surfaced path, which is an immovable obstruction, through the green. The ball is situated at the left edge of the obstruction and the player is right-handed. The player elects to take relief under Rule 24-2b(i) but does not go through the procedure recommended in the Note to the Definition of “Nearest Point of Relief” for determining the nearest point of relief. Instead, he lifts the ball and drops it within one club-length of the nearest edge of the obstruction, not nearer the hole than the ball’s original position, and plays it. What is the ruling?

　　A: Provided the ball is dropped on a spot that satisfies the requirements of Rule 24-2b(i) and the ball did not roll into a position requiring a re-drop under Rule 20-2c, the player incurs no penalty. Although there is a recommended procedure for determining the nearest point of relief, the Rules do not require a player to determine this point when proceeding under Rule 24-2, 24-3, 25-1 or 25-3. If a player does not determine a nearest point of relief accurately or identifies an incorrect nearest point of relief, a penalty only arises if, as a result, the player drops his ball at a spot which does not satisfy the requirements of the Rule under which he is proceeding and he then plays the ball (e.g., the spot is more than one club-length from the correct nearest point of relief or the ball is dropped nearer to the hole than the nearest point of relief). In such circumstances, the player would be penalized for playing from a wrong place (Rule 20-7).

　　问：一名球员的球位于一条人工掘开的小道上，它穿过果岭成为不可移动的障碍物。这个球具体在障碍物的左边，而且球员是右手球员。这名球员选择按照规则24-2b(i)的规定补球，但没有履行“补救的最近点”定义中注释的程序来决定补球的最近球。相反，他把球捡了起来，然后在障碍物最边上一球杆的范围内抛球，球没有停在比原来球的位置更接近球洞的地方，然后他打了一杆。这时适用什么规则？

　　答：倘若球被抛后所停的位置满足规则24-2b(i)的规定，而且没有滚到规则20-2c规定的要求重新抛球的位置，那这名球员就不受处罚。尽管有推荐的决定补球最近点的程序，但当按照规则24-2、24-3、25-1或25-3执行时，没有要求球员决定补球最近点。如果这名球员没有正确的决定补球最近点或者判断了一个错误的补球最近点，处罚才会发生，因为他没有按照规则的要求抛球，还打了球（比如这个地点比距补球最近点一个球杆还长，他所抛的球比补球最近球更接近球洞。）在这种情况下，这名球员将按照在错误的地点打球而被罚（规则20-7）。
