The first thing to ascertain when answering this question is, why was she measuring two club lengths? If the player was taking an unplayable ball under Rule 19, one of her options would be to take a two club-length lateral drop from the spot of the original ball, under penalty of one stroke. If, for instance, she found her ball in a bush, she could take a two club-length lateral drop from the spot of that ball in any direction, no closer to the hole.

When you reach your ball it is sitting nicely and is highly puttable.
