Water Hazard Options
You can do one of three things when you ball comes to rest in a waret hazard:
1.  Assuming that the ball is playable go right a head and play itwithout penality.  However if it is not playable imagine the line.
 2.  Running the from hole to the point  where the ball last crossed the margine of the hazard. you can drop anywhere on the course on an extension of that line for a penality of one stroke.
3.  the third option is stroke-and-distance.   In this illustration, that means returning to the tee where your next stroke would be your third. Note that you can't drop along the line of the ball's flight.
NOTE:  water hazards are marked with Yellow stakes or lines
 
Literal Water Hard Options
There are five options when a ball lise within a lateral water hazard.   These are the same as thoes for a water hazard :

(1)  play the ball as it lies without penality. (2) Drop behind  the hazard on a line  formed by the hole and point A where the ball entered the hazard with one stroke penality added.  (3)Use the stroke-and-distance option.   The other two options call for a penality stroke.  You may drop within two club length of A,  no nearer the hole (4) or on the opposit side of the hazard (5).  The reference point on the opposite side is B, which is the same distance from the hole as A.   (R26-1)

 
 
 
 
Dropping from an Obstruction

With the ball at (a) three spots might qualify as the nearest point of relief when there's interference by an immovable obstruction,  such as a paved cart path.   The point that is the shortest distance from the ball (a) must be used.

The three possibilities are behind the obstruction (b); on an arc to the left (c); and on an arc to the right(d).   Since line A-B is shorter than the lines  A-C and A-D, the nearest point of relief is B.  The same principal applies when relief is taken from ground under repairand casual water.  (R24-2b)
