Answer: you must replace the ball and take one penalty stroke for causing your ball to move.
Answer: Touching the sand with your club immediately in front of or behind the ball, during a practice swing or during your backswing, is a penalty. If you do this, it is a 2 stroke penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in match play. Other touching of the sand is generally OK, as long as you are not deliberately testing the sand.
Answer: False. The bridge is considered part of the penalty area. You can play the ball as it lies or take penalty area relief, adding one penalty stroke.
