158 17.2b When Ball Played from Penalty Area Is Lost, Out of Bounds or Unplayable Outside Penalty Area After playing a ball from a penalty area, a player may sometimes be required or choose to take stroke-and-distance relief because the original ball is either: • Out of bounds or lost outside the penalty area (see Rule 18.2), or • Unplayable outside the penalty area (see Rule 19.2a). If the player takes stroke-and-distance relief by dropping a ball in the penalty area (see Rule 14.6) and then decides not to play the dropped ball from where it comes to rest: • The player may take further relief outside the penalty area under Rule 17.1d(2) or (3) (for a red penalty area) or under Rule 17.2a(2). • If the player does so, they get one more penalty stroke, for a total of two penalty strokes: one stroke for taking stroke-and-distance relief, and one stroke for taking relief outside the penalty area. The player may directly take such relief outside the penalty area without first dropping a ball in the penalty area, but still gets a total of two penalty strokes. Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Rule 17.2: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a. 17.3 No Relief Under Other Rules for Ball in Penalty Area When a player’s ball is in a penalty area, there is no relief for: • Interference by an abnormal course condition (Rule 16.1), • An embedded ball (Rule 16.3), or • An unplayable ball (Rule 19). The player’s only relief option is to take penalty relief under Rule 17. But when a dangerous animal condition interferes with the play of a ball in a penalty area, the player may take either free relief in the penalty area or penalty relief outside the penalty area (see Rule 16.2b(2)).
