We encourage you to answer right away as the points will be awarded in the first 24 hours.

1. If your ball is in a water hazard or a lateral water hazard, you may play the ball as it lies. If you cannot find it or do not wish to play it, add a penalty stroke and (1) drop and play another ball from where you last played, or (2) drop a ball behind the water hazard as far back as you wish. If you decide to drop behind the hazard, drop the ball so that there is a straight line between the hole, where your ball last entered the hazard, and where you drop the ball. If your ball is in a lateral water hazard, as additional options you may (3) drop a ball within two club lengths where the ball entered the hazard, no nearer the hole, or (4) drop within two club lengths on the opposite margin of the hazard, equidistant from the hole.
A. True
B. False

2. Which one of the following is not an acceptable option if your ball is under a bush or in some other bad situation (other than a water hazard) and you do not want to attempt to play it from that position:
A. Add One Penalty Stroke, Go Back to Where You Played the Last Shot, Drop, and Play.
B. Add One Penalty Stroke, Measure Two Club Lengths From the Unplayable Lie, Drop, and Play.
C. Add One Penalty Stroke, Keep the Unplayable Lie Between Where You Drop and The Hole, Go Back as Far as You Want, Drop, and Play.
D. Punt.

3.If you think your ball may be lost outside of a water hazard or out of bounds, you may play a "provisional ball" from the place where your first ball was played. You must tell your opponent or fellow-competitor that you are playing a provisional ball and play it before you look for your first ball. If you cannot find your first ball or if it is out of bounds, you should continue playing the provisional ball adding all strokes played with the original ball and one penalty stroke for the ball lost or out of bounds. If you find your first ball in bounds, disregard the provisional ball and any strokes played with it.
TRUE or FALSE
