　　Q: In playing the 4th hole, a player plays his second shot onto the 7th green, believing it to be the 4th green. He marks the position of and lifts and cleans his ball. He then holes out in two putts on the 7th green before he is advised of his error. What is the ruling?

　　A: In equity (Rule 1-4), the player incurs no penalty under Rule 18-2a for lifting his ball in play without authority. In match play, the player lost the hole when he made the first stroke on the wrong putting green — Rule 25-3. In stroke play, Rule 25-3 does not contemplate a player making more than one stroke from the same wrong putting green. In equity (Rule 1-4), the player incurs a total penalty of two strokes under Rule 25-3. The two strokes made on the 7th green would count toward his score on the 4th hole. When taking relief under Rule 25-3, the player would use the final location of the ball (in this case the hole on the 7th green) as the reference point for taking relief. The same answer would apply to other areas on the course from which play is prohibited (e.g., ground under repair from which relief is mandatory or environmentally-sensitive areas).

　　问：在第4洞的时候，一名球员的第2杆把球打上了第7洞果岭，但他认为自己的球上了第4洞果岭。他标记了球的位置后，把球捡起来并擦干净。这名球员在意识到自己的错误之前，接着在第7洞果岭两推把球打入球洞。这时适用什么规则？

　　答：本着公平的原则（规则1-4），这名球员按照规则18-2a的规定没有经过权威允许就捡起比赛用球是不受处罚的。在比洞赛上，当这名球员在错误的果岭打了第1杆之后，这一洞的成绩就为负——规则25-3。在比杆赛上，规则25-3没有预期到球员会在错误的果岭不止打一杆。本着公平的原则（规则1-4），这名球员按照规则25-3的规定，总共被罚两杆。在第7洞果岭打的两杆计入第4洞的成绩。当按规则25-3移球时，这名球员将用球的最后位置（这种情况就是第7洞果岭的球洞）做为参考点移球。这种情况同样适用球场上禁止打球的其他地区（比如在维修中的地面移球是强制性的或者在环境敏感区）。
