Golf Rules Question on Dropping and Penalties
In a club match a ball moved by a caddie from a water hazard back to the fairway requires the player to drop behind the hole.

In medal play the penalties align at one stroke for both scenarios. Innis Brown invites personal inquiries to the sport editor.
