　　Decision 27-2b/2 When Provisional Ball Holed Becomes Ball in Play
　　Q: At a short hole, As tee shot may be out of bounds or lost, so he plays a provisional ball, which he holes. A does not wish to look for his original ball. B, As opponent or a fellow-competitor, goes to look for the original ball. When does the provisional ball become the ball in play?

　　A: In equity (Rule 1-4) the provisional ball becomes the ball in play as soon as A picks it out of the hole, provided his original ball has not already been found in bounds within five minutes of B starting to search for it.

　　判定 27-2b/2 当临时球进入球洞时，它就成了比赛用球

　　问：在一个距离很短的球洞，A可能把球发到了界外或者丢失了，所以他打了一个临时球，并把球打入了球洞。A不希望再找原始球了。B，A的对手或同组球员，他去找原始球了。什么时候临时球才能成为比赛用球？

　　答：本来公正的原则（规则1-4），如果从B开始找球算起的5分钟内没能在界内找到A的球，A把临时球从球洞里拿出来的刻，临时球就成为了比赛用球。
