A player arrives at a red penalty area and there is known or virtual certainty that his or her ball came to rest in the penalty area. The player decides to take lateral relief and determines the relief area based on where the ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area. The player drops a different ball, in the relief area, from waist height and the ball comes to rest and is played from the relief area.  How many Penalty Strokes does he or she incur?

Without marking the spot of the ball, he or she lifts the ball and cleans it beyond what is necessary for identification.

On a par three, the player hits to the right of the green and into deep rough. While trying to find the ball, the player accidentally kicks the ball. Since the player was unsure of the exact spot, he or she replaces the ball on its estimated spot, which is near a sprinkler control box. While determining if there is interference from the sprinkler control box, which would give the player free relief, the player again accidentally moves the ball with his or her foot. The player then determines that free relief is not available and replaces the ball from where it was moved and plays the ball onto the putting green. While taking a practice swing near the ball on the putting green, he or she accidentally hits and moves the ball. The player lifts the ball without marking its spot, returns it to the spot from which it was moved and plays it into the hole.
