If the ball moves subsequently, there is no penalty, and the ball must be played as it lies, unless the provisions of any other rule apply.

If the Player fails to mark the position of the ball before lifting it or moves the ball in any other manner, such as rolling it with a club, he/she incurs a penalty of one stroke.
