1.     EMBEDDED BALL- Rule 25.2 A ball embedded in its own pitch in the ground through the green may be lifted, cleaned, and dropped without penalty as near as possible to the spot where it lay, but no closer to the hole. 

2.     WATER HAZARDS- Rule 26.  Yellow and Red stakes shall define the margin of the hazard.  All river rock areas shall be played as lateral hazards whether marked or unmarked.  For all river rock areas the margin of the hazard will be will be defined as the edges of these rocks.  If a ball is hit toward or into these areas, there must be agreement from the other members of the group playing, at the point where the ball was played, that the ball must be known or virtually certain to be in the hazard.  In that case, the ball need not be found to invoke RULE 26 Water Hazards.  If the other members of the group playing do not agree that the ball is virtually certain to be in the hazard, then a provisional ball should be played.  If the original ball is lost or is out of bounds, the provisional ball must be played.  If the original is found in the hazard, the Rule 26 Water Hazards may be invoked.  Quail # 8 - the drop area may be used as an additional option.  Roadrunner # 4 - the drop area may be used providing it is not nearer the hole.
