18-2b/1 Ball Moves After Stance Taken But Before Address
Q:Outside a hazard, the player took his stance but did not ground his club. The ball moved. What is the ruling?

A:As the player had not addressed the ball, he did not incur a penalty under Rule 18-2b (see Definition of “Addressing the Ball”).

If, however, the player caused the ball to move, he was subject to penalty and the ball should have been replaced — Rule 18-2a.

18-2b/1 站好姿势后，做好击球准备前，球移动了

问：在障碍区之外，一名球员站好姿势，但没有把球杆头置于球后地面上。这时球移动了，应该适用什么规则？

答：因为球员没有做好击球准备，按照规则18-2b他不会受处罚（见“击球准备”的定义）。

如果是球员引起了球的移动，他应该受处罚，而且球要被放回原位——见规则18-2a。
