Situation Today
Player A hits his tee ball into a red staked area but finds it and is able to make a stroke at his ball. Stroke is made and the ball is left in the hazard but is now unplayable. What are the next options?

He can still take a drop based on where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard.
Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

26-2. Ball Played Within Water Hazard
a. Ball Comes to Rest in Same or Another Water Hazard
If a ball played from within a water hazard comes to rest in the same or another water hazard after the stroke, the player may:
(i) proceed under Rule 26-1a. If, after dropping in the hazard, the player elects not to play the dropped ball, he may:
(a) proceed under Rule 26-1b, or if applicable Rule 26-1c, adding the additional penalty of one stroke prescribed by the Rule and using as the reference point the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of this hazard before it came to rest in this hazard; or
(b) add an additional penalty of one stroke and play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the last stroke from outside a water hazard was made (see Rule 20-5); or
(ii) proceed under Rule 26-1b, or if applicable Rule 26-1c; or
(iii)under penalty of one stroke, play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the last stroke from outside a water hazard was made (see Rule 20-5).

So he took the stroke in the hazard and buried his ball. He could pick I up and drop back on the tee or where his tee shot crossed the line with one stroke penalty?

Tee shot. Stroke in hazard. Penalty stroke. Stroke onto green. One putt? So assuming I got this right, yep, a bogey.

He made an initial stroke that landed his ball in a hazard. He then made a swing in the hazard and in doing so put himself into an unplayable position. I don't think it makes sense that he can then go back to the line of entry to the first shot he struck and play 4. I'd think he drops back where his last shot in the hazard was struck or takes two club lengths from the unplayable if possible.

It just doesn't make sense to me that you can make a stroke in a hazard, put yourself now into a position regardless of whether it's in a hazard where you now can't make a stroke at the ball and you then get to say okay i'll go back to the line i hit two shots ago and drop. I understand the ruling but circumstantially i don't agree with it.

as adanac and AAA are saying, the ball's in the water hazard, so even after hitting it, if it's still in the water hazard it's subject to the water hazard rule 26. drop at point of entry, or from where the last shot was made to go into the hazard (tee in your situation), with penalty stroke of course.
who made this great bogey?You only get out of something what you put into it

My buddy Jon, he definitely hit a miraculous shot to about a foot and half to make the bogey.

It was the new member Talktomyball, he was on the tee when a trespasser came onto the course 300 yds ahead and he flew his shot into the hazard, then when in the hazard he was taking a swing when he felt another trespasser come on the course 5 holes away and made a bad swing on the ball. Luckily he was able to shoot the trespassers and took the penalty then made the bogey now that the course was occupied by golfers only.
