s halved. (_c_) The "teeing-ground" is the starting-point for a hole, and shall be indicated by two marks placed in a line as nearly as possible at right angles to the course. The hole shall be 4-1/4 inches in diameter, and at least 4 inches deep. (_d_) The "putting-green" is all ground within 20 yards of the hole, except hazards. (_e_) A "hazard" is any bunker, water (except casual water), sand, path, road, railway, whin, bush, rushes, rabbit scrape, fence, or ditch. Sand blown on to the grass, or sprinkled on the course for its preservation, bare patches, sheep tracks, snow, and ice are not hazards. Permanent grass within a hazard is not part of the hazard. (_f_) "Through the green" is any part of the course except hazards and the putting-green which is being played to. (_g_) "Out of bounds" is any place outside the defined or recognised boundaries of the course. (_h_) "Casual water" is any temporary accumulation of water (whether caused by rainfall or otherwise) which is not one of the ordinary and recognised hazards of the course. (_i_) A ball is "in play" as soon as the player has made a stroke at the teeing-ground in each hole, and remains in play until holed out, except when lifted in accordance with the Rules. (_j_) A ball has "moved" only if it leave its original position in the least degree, and stop in another; but if it merely oscillate, without finally leaving its original position, it has not "moved." (_k_) A ball is "lost" if it be not found within five minutes after the search for it is begun. (_l_) A "match" consists of one round of the links, unless it be otherwise agreed. A match is won by the side which is leading by a number of holes greater than the number of holes remaining to be played. If each side win the same number of holes, the match is halved. (_m_) A "stroke" is any movement of the ball caused by the player, except as provided for in Rule 3, or any downward movement of the club made with the intention of striking the ball. (_n_) A "penalty stroke" is a stroke added to the score of a side under certain rules, and does not affect the rotation of play. (_o_) The "honour" is the privilege of playing first from a teeing-ground. (_p_) A player has "addressed the ball" when he has taken up his position and grounded his club, or if in a hazard, when he has taken up his position preparatory to striking the ball.
