Voy a ver si transcribo el test y más adelante, otro día, ponemos las respuestas de la USGA, vale?

OJO, Aviso legal, o como sea que se diga: Tod esto es porpiedad de la USGA y espero que no me metan u paquete por copiarlo aqui, pero lo hago para la mayor difusion de las reglas de golf y bla, bla, bla.

Hal estimates the point where the ball last crossed the hazard margin and properly drops a ball under Rule 26-1c. Prior to making a stroke and within five minutes of beginning to search for it, he finds the original ball embedded in a closely mown area, through the green several yards from his estimated point of entry into the hazard. Unsure of his rights, he invokes Rule 3-3, and indicates that he wishes to score with the embedded ball. He properly drops the original ball under Rule 25-2 and takes two more strokes to hole out the original ball. Without counting penalty strokes, Hal takes four more strokes to hole out the ball dropped under Rule 26-1c. He reports the facts to the Committee before signing and returning his score card.

Morgan borrows a fairway wood from Bill who has just completed his own round in the same competition, and Morgan completes her round carrying her original 14 clubs and Bill?s fairway wood.

He finds his original ball (Ball A) in a lateral water hazard, believes he was therefore not entitled to play a provisional ball and declares Ball B (which lay approximately the same distance from the hole as the original ball) unplayable, dropping a ball within two club-lengths of where Ball B lay in the bush.

Morgan then decides she would prefer to play the ball from its original position within the lateral water hazard. Morgan may:
