George hits a golf shot that lands in a red staked lateral hazard. He has 5 options to choose from before he hits his next shot.

1. Play a ball from the spot from which the original ball was last played.
2. Drop a ball anywhere on the line from the spot at which the ball last crossed the hazard and the hole.
3. Drop a ball within two clublengths, no nearer the hole, at the margin where the ball last crossed the hazard or
4. At a point on the opposite margin of the water hazard equidistant from the hole.
5. Play it as it lies in the hazard.
