　　Q: A player cannot determine whether a long blade of grass, a twig, a tumbleweed or some similar natural object interfering with his swing through the green is loose or is attached to its roots. The player moves the object to the extent necessary to make a determination and discovers that the object is attached. If the movement of the natural object results in the area of the players intended swing being improved, is the player subject to penalty under Rule 13-2?

　　A: No, provided he returns the natural object to its original position before playing his next stroke. A player is entitled to determine whether such a natural object which interferes with the area of is intended swing is loose provided that, if the object is found not to be loose, (1) it has not become detached and (2) it is returned to its original position before the next stroke.

　　问：一名球员不能决定妨碍到他在果岭通道上挥杆时的一叶绿草、一个小枝、一棵风滚草或者其他相似的自然物体是否是松动的或者是连着根附着的。球员决定移动物体，但之后发现这个物体是附着的。如果在球员准备挥杆的位置移动了自然物，而且结果是改进了他的挥杆，那按规则13-2的规定，他是不是应该接受处罚？

　　答：如果他在打下一杆前，把移动的自然物放回原处就不会被处罚。一名球员有资格决定在他准备挥杆地区的这样的自然物体是否是松动的，如果这个自然物被发现不是松动的（1）它没有被分离（2）在打下一杆前要把它放回原来的位置。
