Ball Unplayable states: The player may deem his ball unplayable at any place on the course, except whan a ball is in a water hazard.  The player is the sole judge as to whether his ball is unplayable.  If the player deems his ball to be unplayable, under penalty of one stroke,  he must:

Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the ball was last played OR, drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped with no limit as to how far back the ball may be dropped OR, drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay but not nearer the hole.
