In this riveting Golf Monthly episode, the team delves deep into the treacherous world of bunker rules with the esteemed rules expert Fergus Biss at the majestic Trump Turnbury's Elsa course. Fergus unveils the secrets of when players can dare to touch the sacred sand, whether for support, smoothing marks, or making a stance. It's a delicate dance of rules and finesse, ensuring no stroke improvements sneak in under the watchful eye of the golfing gods.
With a twinkle in his eye, Fergus guides the team through the forbidden territories of bunker conduct, emphasizing the strict no-no of testing sand conditions or taking cheeky practice swings. And if time permits, a sneaky peek at another bunker's sand texture is allowed, but mind you, don't delay the game! The edge of bunkers becomes a battleground of definitions, where players must tread carefully to avoid the dreaded grounding of clubs and penalties galore.
But fear not, for Fergus is a beacon of knowledge, shedding light on the options for taking unplayable relief in bunkers, from stroke penalties to lateral drops. And when a ball decides to embed itself in the revetted face of a deep pot bunker, Fergus swoops in with Rule 16.3 magic, granting a free drop and a chance for redemption. Loose impediments like sticks and stones in bunkers are no match for Fergus's wisdom, as he explains the art of removing them under Rule 15.1 with finesse and precision. The Golf Monthly team emerges from the bunker rules labyrinth enlightened and ready to tackle any sandy challenge that comes their way.
