The Real Club de Golf Sotogrande (Cádiz) is hosting the Estrella Damm Andalucía Masters in which one of the shots of the year has been experienced. Polish golfer Adrian Meronk made a shot on the 6th hole that he himself already regretted because it seemed like the ball was going to go out of bounds.
Fortunately for him, the ball bounced off the trunk of a tree and entered the green peacefully, leaving him with the putt very close at hand so as not to miss it and achieve a brilliant Eagle. Thus, the Pole went from looking crazy to kissing the ball due to the tremendous luck he had with the shot.

The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played.🦅 Adrian Meronk - So I'm just going to pull it into the trees, get the rebound and drain the monster putt for eagle

They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are the jurisdiction of 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 is effective 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 managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are applied outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respect for the rules is a basic element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on the self-control and free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, consciously at times, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to non-compliance on the part of many players of the game rules.
In addition to rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the round with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
