I am at the Senior Players Championship. A ball bounced and ended up in the lap of the person. 

If she stands up and the ball drops in the chair. He would get 1 club with a free drop? 

if she stands up and it falls to the ground, is it play it as it lies?

Rule 11.1b, exception 1, and I'm assuming the ball actually came to rest.  The Reference Point is immediately under the point where it came to rest on the person.  Relief area is 1 Club length.  If the person moves a ball at rest, I.e. stands up, the Reference Point is still immediately under the spot where it originally came to rest.

      Day 62 (11 May 26) - grandson put in for some wedge drills, up and over targets (namely the tulip tree) - grabbed a couple of foam balls and we worked on same (me on Gw and he with his Sw).  Good session on aim small/miss small.  Love these times working with him - watching his game develop.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By Shindig · Posted

      Thank you @Ty_Webb!  I hadn't thought about that it would increase when there's a need for the third shot, something that happens to me almost every time I play a par-5;  it's pretty rare (bordering on never, but not quite) that I'm on or even within 30 yards for my third shot.   But that makes a ton of sense:  to be on or near in regulation, I need to hit at least two good shots and one not-bad one, preferably three good shots.  Asking a professional to hit two good shots in short succession is nowhere near as tall an order.  I'll continue to try for a second no-six round, but your post really did help me with the not beating myself up part, and I'll continue to be happy towards this when I have only one six (and no worse) in a round.
