Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

Jon Rahm fired a final round 62 (eight birdies and one eagle) en-route to victory at last week’s Irish Open, his second success at the event having previously won back in 2017. The 24-year-old Spaniard has found top form at the perfect time with the Open Championship taking place next week – could he secure his maiden Major at Royal Portrush?

Enjoy the read.

 
 
Know your rules: Bunkers

Playing out of the sand is tricky enough without complicated rules getting in the way. Fortunately, golf’s hierarchy rewrote the rule book (literally) and from January this year we've been able to do a few things in the sand that we never could before.

Rule Twelve bunkers

So, what are these new-fangled rules and what do you still need to watch out for in order to avoid a penalty?

What you CAN do:

  • Touch or move loose impediments in a bunker (local rule previously)
  • Touch the sand with your hand away from the ball
  • Ground the club in the sand away from the ball as long as you're not testing the sand

What you CAN’T do:

  • Deliberately touch the sand to test its condition
  • Ground the club next to the ball when playing the shot
  • Touch the sand on a practice swing
  • Touch the sand when making your backswing
