Answer to this week's Rules Question:  

The correct answer is A - Rule 15-3b  When a ball is lifted under Rule 20-1, it is out of play (See Definition of  "Ball in Play").  When the player played a stroke with her ball while it was out of play, she played a wrong ball (Rule 15-3).  In stroke played she incurred a penalty of two strokes and was required to correct the error (i.e., replace the ball in the correct place and finish the hole) before playing from the next tee; other wise, she would be disqualified.  If this had happened on the 18th hole, she would have to correct the error before leaving the putting green or be disqualified.

In match play, the penalty would have been loss of hole.
