　　Q: In stroke play, a competitor plays two strokes on the 14th hole and then plays a wrong ball for what he believed to be his third stroke. He plays a total of four strokes with the wrong ball, holing out with it. He then discovers the error. Before teeing off at the 15th, he asks a member of the Committee as to the procedure. The Committee member told the competitor to proceed and consult the Committee when the round was completed, instead of telling him to rectify the error as prescribed in Rule 15-3b. Should the player be disqualified as prescribed in Rule 15-3b?

　　A: No. In the circumstances, the competitor should incur a penalty of two strokes for a breach of Rule 15-3b. The disqualification penalty that he also incurred under that Rule should be waived by the Committee under Rule 33-7, since the competitors failure to correct his mistake was due to the error of the Committee member. Generally, strokes played with a wrong ball do not count in the players score. However, in this case such strokes must be counted. Otherwise, the competitor would not have a score for the hole. In equity (Rule 1-4), his score for the hole would be 8: the two strokes he played with his ball, the two penalty strokes for playing a wrong ball and the four strokes he played with the wrong ball.

　　问：在比杆赛上，一名比赛者在第14洞打了两杆，然后他的第3杆打了一个错误的球，直到把这一洞打完，他在第14洞共用错球打了4杆。这名比赛者在第15洞发球台发球前发现了自己的错误，他向一名委员会的成员询问该怎么做。委员会的成员没有告诉他按照规则15-3b描述的那样改正错误，而是让他继续比赛，这轮比赛结束后再与委员会商议。这名比赛者会按照规则15-3b的规定被取消比赛资格吗？

　　答：不会。在这种情况下，这名比赛者因违反了规则15-3b而应该被罚两杆。其实按照规则，他也应该接受取消比赛资格的处罚，但委员会按照规则33-7的规定免除了他取消比赛资格的处罚，因为这名比赛者没能改正错误完全是委员会成员的责任。一般来说，用错误的球打出的杆数不计入球员的成绩。不过，上述情况应该计入。否则，这名比赛者在第14洞就没有成绩了。本来公正的原则（规则1-4），这名比赛者在第14洞的成绩应该是8杆，两杆是他用自己的球打的，两杆是打错球所接受的处罚，4杆是他用错误的球打的。
