新修订的规则将于2012年1月1日开始适用。

Definitions 定义部分的修改

Addressing the Ball 击球准备

The Definition is amended so that a player has addressed the ball simply by grounding his club immediately in front of or behind the ball, regardless of whether or not he has taken his stance. Therefore, the Rules generally no longer provide for a player addressing the ball in a hazard. (See also related change to Rule 18-2b)
击球准备的定义修改成了，如果球员将球杆放在球前或球后，便视为做好了击球准备，而不管球手是否做好了站位。也就是说，由于在沙坑里击球前是不能将球杆头接触沙坑的，所以在沙坑里没有“做好击球准备”的说法。
如果发生了做好击球准备后球移动了的情况，在本次的修订中有关于18-2b的一个修订，见下方。

Rules 规则部分的修改

Rule 1-2. Exerting Influence on Movement of Ball or Altering Physical Conditions
规则1-2 对球的运动施加影响或改变球的物理条件
The Rule is amended to establish more clearly that, if a player intentionally takes an action to influence the movement of a ball or to alter physical conditions affecting the playing of a hole in a way that is not permitted by the Rules, Rule 1-2 applies only when the action is not already covered in another Rule. For example, a player improving the lie of his ball is in breach of Rule 13-2 and therefore that Rule would apply, whereas a player intentionally improving the lie of a fellow-competitor’s ball is not a situation covered by Rule 13-2 and, therefore, is governed by Rule 1-2.
本次修订使规则1-2的应用说明更加清晰。如果球手故意违反其它规则去影响球的运动或改变它的物料条件，（由于有其它规则）并不算违反规则1-2。而如果球手对球施加的影响并没有相应的规则解释或涵盖，规则1-2适用。

Rule 6-3a. Time of Starting
规则6-3a 出发时间
Rule 6-3a is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within five minutes of the starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition of competition.
修改了6-3a，使得球手发球迟到，在规则上直接5分钟以内，罚两杆（比杆赛）或该洞负（比洞赛）。原来在2008版规则里，只有一个注释说明，只有在相应比赛球条件规则的情况下才可以5分钟以外罚杆不DQ，否则无论迟到多长时间均为DQ。

Rule 12-1. Seeing Ball; Searching for Ball
规则12-1 看见球，寻找球
Rule 12-1 is reformatted for clarity. In addition, it is amended to (i) permit a player to search for his ball anywhere on the course when it may be covered by sand and to clarify that there is no penalty if the ball is moved in these circumstances, and (ii) apply a penalty of one stroke under Rule 18-2a if a player moves his ball in a hazard when searching for it when it is believed to be covered by loose impediments.
本次修订将规则12-1的结构给改了，更加清晰，如果你去看回规则书，会发现找球已经很清晰地划分成了“在球场上”、“在沙坑里”和“在水障碍里”等。并且不同情况下移动了球，会有不同的处罚/处理。新版规则在沙坑里找被散置障碍物覆盖的球时，移动了球，需要受到1杆处罚。

Rule 13-4. Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions
规则13-4 球在障碍区时禁止的行为
Exception 2 to Rule 13-4 is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 is not breached.
这次修订这条也改动得比较大，现在允许球员在任何时间耙平沙坑，但仅限于维护球场的目的，没有改善球位、没有改善试图站位与挥杆区域、没有改善打球线。不再存在测试沙坑的处罚。

Rule 18-2b. Ball Moving After Address
规则18-2b 击球准备后球移动
A new Exception is added that exonerates the player from penalty if his ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that he did not cause the ball to move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.
增加了一条新的例外情况，完成击球准备后，如果能够肯定不是由于球员本身的原因造成球移动（譬如是风吹动的），球员不受处罚。在2008版里的，很多大赛的球员在这条规则上受到了比白毛女还冤的罚杆，相信2012年开始不会再发生。

Rule 19-1. Ball in Motion Deflected or Stopped; By Outside Agency
规则19-1 运动中的球被局外者变向或停止
The note is expanded to prescribe the various outcomes when a ball in motion has been deliberately deflected or stopped by an outside agency.
注释展开说明了不同情况下的处理方法，不用再找判例啦！

Rule 20-7c. Playing from Wrong Place; Stroke Play
规则20-7c 比杆赛从错误的地方击球
Note 3 is amended so that if a player is to be penalised for playing from a wrong place, in most cases the penalty will be limited to two strokes, even if another Rule has been breached prior to his making the stroke.
注释3修改为，若球员从错误的地方打球，大部分情况下只会受到两杆的处罚，即使同时也违反了其它的规则。
（我很高兴，因为之前我一直弄不清从错误的地方打球，需要不需要罚其它违反的规则）

Appendix IV 附录部分修改
A new Appendix is added to prescribe general regulations for the design of devices and other equipment, such as tees, gloves and distance measuring devices.
增加了一部分附件，用于说明各种设备、装备（如Tee、手套和测距仪）等等的规范。

小常识：新接触高尔夫的朋友可能还不清楚高尔夫规则和判例的修订，经常在百度之类的要诸如2011年高尔夫规则等等。高尔夫规则是每四年修订一次，发布之后则在接下来四年内使用，也就是说，本次修订是2012-2015年的，而上次修订是2008-2011年的，并不存在2011年版的规则。

而高尔夫判例书则是每两年修订一年，第一次是跟随新版高尔夫规则发布，而第二次则是两年后，主要为了修订一些在上次修订没涉及的而在两年间发现的一些细节或判例问题。

相关的修订内容（包括1个定义、7条规则和1条附录有了新的修订）。

• Addressing the Ball
• Rule 1-2. Exerting Influence on Movement of Ball or Altering Physical Conditions
• Rule 6-3a. Time of Starting
• Rule 12-1. Seeing Ball; Searching for Ball
• Rule 13-4. Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions
• Rule 18-2b. Ball Moving After Address
• Rule 19-1. Ball in Motion Deflected or Stopped; By Outside Agency
• Rule 20-7c. Playing from Wrong Place; Stroke Play
• Appendix IV

其中一条很重要的修订是关于做好击球准备后，球动了这种情况的处理。原来是做好击球准备后球动了，1杆罚杆是跑不掉了。但新的修订之后，若是由风造成的移动，则不会受罚。

详细的修订请查看前一篇日志：《2012-2015版高尔夫规则的主要修订》。

PS. 自从八月份大运会、安妮卡女子青少年之后，压根没歇过。出了一场职业赛裁判，之后就一直在被工作折腾。本来博客是要定时更新和总结自己规则学习和总结的。

不过呢，上个星期忙完了汉克哈尼到访后，和汉克哈尼合照了一张，哈哈，上图！

上了R&A的官方网站，果然看到有规则修订的内容，还有规则电子版的下载（注：该版本规则于2012年1月1日生效）。

由于最近比较忙，被高尔夫世界杯的准备工作累坏了，修订的内容大家看英文吧。

New Rules 2012-15

Principal Changes Introduced into the 2012 Code

Rules of Golf

Definitions

Addressing the Ball

The Definition is amended so that a player has addressed the ball simply by grounding his club immediately in front of or behind the ball, regardless of whether or not he has taken his stance. Therefore, the Rules generally no longer provide for a player addressing the ball in a hazard. (See also related change to Rule 18-2b)

Rules
Rule 1-2. Exerting Influence on Movement of Ball or Altering Physical Conditions
The Rule is amended to establish more clearly that, if a player intentionally takes an action to influence the movement of a ball or to alter physical conditions affecting the playing of a hole in a way that is not permitted by the Rules, Rule 1-2 applies only when the action is not already covered in another Rule. For example, a player improving the lie of his ball is in breach of Rule 13-2 and therefore that Rule would apply, whereas a player intentionally improving the lie of a fellow-competitor’s ball is not a situation covered by Rule 13-2 and, therefore, is governed by Rule 1-2.

Rule 6-3a. Time of Starting
Rule 6-3a is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within five minutes of the starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition of competition.

Rule 12-1. Seeing Ball; Searching for Ball
Rule 12-1 is reformatted for clarity. In addition, it is amended to (i) permit a player to search for his ball anywhere on the course when it may be covered by sand and to clarify that there is no penalty if the ball is moved in these circumstances, and (ii) apply a penalty of one stroke under Rule 18-2a if a player moves his ball in a hazard when searching for it when it is believed to be covered by loose impediments.

Rule 13-4. Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions
Exception 2 to Rule 13-4 is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 is not breached.

Rule 18-2b. Ball Moving After Address
A new Exception is added that exonerates the player from penalty if his ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that he did not cause the ball to move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.

1. If a player finds a ball, deems it unplayable, drops it within two club-lengths, plays it and then discovers that the ball is not his, there is a penalty for playing a wrong ball.
2. In match play, there is a penalty if a teed ball not in play on the teeing ground is knocked off the tee with a practice swing.
3. A player’s ball lies in a bunker covered by leaves. He uses his club to remove enough leaves to enable him to see part of the ball. As he addresses the ball, he touches some of the leaves with his club. What is the ruling?
4. An old hole plug which has sunk below the level of the surface of the green is a hole made by a greenkeeper and therefore ground under repair.
5. A sprinkler head does not interfere with the lie of the ball, stance, or area of swing; a player may not take relief under the obstruction Rule for mental interference.

1. A player’s tee shot is in a difficult lie through the green. He deems the ball unplayable and drops it within two club-lengths of where it lay but it comes to rest in the same position from which he took relief. Which one of the following is correct?
2. A competitor took relief from a lateral water hazard, dropped a ball in a wrong place (three club-lengths from where the original ball last crossed the hazard margin) and played it; his total penalty is three strokes.
3. Even when it is obvious that a dropped ball will roll into a hazard or out of bounds, the player may not place the ball instead of dropping it.
4. The Committee may not enlist the help of the players in removing casual water from the putting green if they have not finished the hole.
5. Before completing an 18-hole competition, two competitors play two additional holes that were not included in the stipulated round; there is no penalty.

一直不怎么在博客上写很多关于规则分析的日志，有两方面原因，第一是自己平时疏于学习，很多东西一直停留在一知半解的基础上，自然不敢拿出来误导群众;第二方面是由于规则的细节性，即有其中一个细节不一样，得出来的处理结果往往大相径庭。很多时间在一些博客或网站上看到一些资深裁判如李今亮老师，风尘子等人写的规则文章，一步一步的分析进而得出结果，让我很是汗颜。

也许，这就是所谓的对规则的敬畏吧。

比如下面这一表述，我们不能说它是错误的，但它却实在有着错误的逻辑，并且说明是不够充分的：

下面这个直接错了，连最近补救点都没找，直接一杆补救——好吧，又多违反了20－7，不是DQ就又被罚2杆。

好吧，回到泰格当年那块大石头上，大部分学习规则的人都会知道当年的这个案例。当时裁判正确地处理了该案例，但在今天，有网友却说，在后面出版的规则书将关于散置障碍物的处理规则更改了为必须由球员自己能移动的物品才算散置，即泰格当时那个案例发生在今天，泰格必须自己搬走大石头。

很明显是错误的。

第一，规则书上对散置障碍物的定义如为：

“散置障碍物”是自然物体，它包括：

• 石块、树叶、树枝、树杈及其类似物；
• 牲畜的粪便；
• 蠕虫、昆虫及其类似物，以及它们制造的遗弃物和堆积物。

但这些物体：

• 不是固定的或生长着的，
• 没有牢固地嵌入地面，或者
• 没有粘附在球上。

没有所谓的靠球员本身移动的规定。

第二，判例书有两条判例可以说明问题：

23-1/2  Large Stone Removable Only with Much Effort
Q. A player’s ball lies in the rough directly behind a loose stone the size of a watermelon. The stone can be removed only with much effort. Is it a loose impediment which may be removed?
A. Yes. Stones of any size (not solidly embedded) are loose impediments and may be removed, provided removal does not unduly delay play 
(Rule 6-7).

23-1/3  Assistance in Removing Large Loose Impediment
Q. May spectators, caddies, fellow-competitors, etc., assist a player in removing a large loose impediment?
A. Yes.

请注意，这两条判例是在最新的判例书上的，未做改动。
