11-3/1 Stroke Misses Ball; Ball Then Accidentally Knocked Off Tee
Q. A player teed his ball within the teeing ground. He made a stroke at the ball but missed it. He addressed the ball again and accidentally knocked it off the tee. What is the ruling?

A. When the player made a stroke at the ball, it was in play and Rule 11-3 no longer applied. When the ball in play moved after it was addressed, the player incurred a penalty stroke and was obliged to replace the ball (Rule 18-2b).

11-3/1 击球没中；球随后意外被击离了球座

问：一名球员在发球区内发球。他打了一杆，但没打到球。球员再次做击球准备，但球意外被击离了球座。这时适用什么规则？

答：当球员打了一杆时，球就成为了使用中球，规则11-3不再适用。做好击球准备后，球移动了，这时球员要被罚一杆，而且有责任把球放回原处（规则18-2b）。
