Engaged in the LPGA Drive On Championship, Yuka Saso returned a superb shot on par 5 of 2 (her eleventh hole of the day) from almost 200 meters for an improbable albatross. Yuka Saso scored the coup of the tournament, even that of the season this Friday at the Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club in Arizona.
Indeed, the winner of the US Open 2021 more than improved the par 5 of the 2 by returning her second shot from 217 yards, or 196 meters. It was one of my dreams, but we all know how hard it is to make one.
Yuka Saso, albatross
"We didn't really know where the ball had landed and where it ended up, so we were walking to the green and everyone started clapping," said the Japanese player from the Philippines.
But my ball wasn't on the green and I wondered why the crowd was cheering if it wasn't on it. It was one of my dreams, but we all know how hard it is to make one. They say you are lucky if you get one in your golfing career. I think I was very lucky to have done that." It was not the first albatross made on this course this week.
Indeed, an amateur had also achieved this feat during the Pro-Am on Wednesday on the same track. Luckily for this golfer, the LPGA cameras had captured this magical moment. The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played.
They are jointly written and maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association.
An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA, oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision has been in force since January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance.
The rule book, entitled "Rules of Golf", is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they apply outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respect for the rules is a basic element in the game of golf which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or lightly, due to non-compliance by many players of the game rules.
In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing your game with due respect to the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
