Get a Ruling • Re: Bal in water hazard
[quote="OempaS"]
Player plays his bal from the tee into a water hazard. He drops a bal and plays it.
He realises that he dropped the bal by mistake inside the hazard.
He drops another bal now in the right place outside the hazard and plays it onto the green. He completes the hole with another two puts.
What is the ruling? And how many strokes must he write on his scorecard?

The ball played from within the water hazard is in play with an additional two-stroke-penalty for playing from a wrong place and the player should have continued play with it provided the breach was not a serious one. When he abandoned it and put another ball into play he proceeded under stroke and distance incurring the penalty stroke under R. 27-1 and an additional two-stroke-penalty for a breach of that Rule, again for playing from a wrong place.
According to my math he has made five strokes and must add six penalty strokes for a score of 11.
