Drove under pine tree.

Played the one handed backward thing and the ball ricocheted off my foot.

Playing 5 from where it lies?

I know I can't prop branches on each other but can I bend them with my body just 'bulling' my way to the ball?

One stroke penalty.

19-2. By Player, Partner, Caddie or Equipment
If a player’s ball is accidentally deflected or stopped by himself, his partner or either of their caddies or equipment, the player incurs a penalty of one stroke. The ball must be played as it lies, except when it comes to rest in or on the player’s, his partner’s or either of their caddies’ clothes or equipment, in which case the ball must through the green or in a hazard be dropped, or on the putting green be placed, as near as possible to the spot directly under the place where the ball came to rest in or on the article, but not nearer the hole.

Explanation of "Fairly Taking His Stance"
Q. Rule 13-2 states that a player must not improve the position or lie of his ball, the area of his intended stance or swing or his line of play or a reasonable extension of that line beyond the hole by moving, bending or breaking anything growing or fixed (including immovable obstructions and objects defining out of bounds). An exception permits a player to do so in "fairly taking his stance." What is the significance of "fairly"?
A. Without "fairly," the exception would permit improvement of position or lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play by anything that could be said to be taking a stance. The use of "fairly" is intended to limit the player to what is reasonably necessary to take a stance for the selected stroke without unduly improving the position of the ball, his lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play. Thus, in taking his stance for the selected stroke, the player should select the least intrusive course of action which results in the minimum improvement in the position or lie of the ball, area of intended stance or swing or line of play. The player is not entitled to a normal stance or swing. He must accommodate the situation in which the ball is found and take a stance as normal as the circumstances permit. What is fair must be determined in the light of all the circumstances.
Examples of actions which do constitute fairly taking a stance are:
· backing into a branch or young sapling if that is the only way to take a stance for the selected stroke, even if this causes the branch to move out of the way or the sapling to bend or break.
· bending a branch of a tree with the hands in order to get under the tree to play a ball.
Examples of actions which do not constitute fairly taking a stance are:
· deliberately moving, bending or breaking branches with the hands, a leg or the body to get them out of the way of the backswing or stroke.
· standing on a branch to prevent it interfering with the backswing or stroke.
· hooking one branch on another or braiding two weeds for the same purpose.
· bending with a hand a branch obscuring the ball after the stance has been taken.
· bending an interfering branch with the hands, a leg or the body in taking a stance when the stance could have been taken without bending the branch.

Yippee! I made 7, not 8. Finished throwing the round away on the next hole anyway.

Thanks.
