Peláez, unusual reason for disqualification

Spanish golfer Ana Peláez was disqualified from the Women’s British Open, the fifth and final major tournament of the season, on Friday. She used a laser to measure distances. This is prohibited at the tournament and the player was unaware of it, as it can be used at almost all other championships.

Pelaez, statement

The Malaga player herself stated this on social media after she had drawn 74 strokes (+2) in the second round of the tournament that is played on the legendary Scottish course of Saint Andrews. “I have been disqualified.

There is no one to blame here, at least there are people responsible. The reason is that the laser was used in a tournament where it cannot be used. I trusted my caddie and I did not read the newspaper. It is my responsibility.

He assumed the laser could be used like in all tournaments and he didn’t read the newspaper either,” the player says. “There’s no one to blame. My caddie is still an incredible caddie. We did a great job. The laser was on two holes.

We could have made par (72) and I am super happy. Love is the most important thing and I prefer to live every situation from there. Life goes on; I keep training, playing, growing… I have a lot of love for Miguel, who is not happy.

I’m going to be in big trouble,” she added. Ana Peláez is out of the tournament for using a laser rangefinder and after making a par (72) on the first day and a 74 (+2) on the second. The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf must be played.

They are jointly established and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, with the exception of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association.

An expert committee, made up of members from the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years. The most recent revision went into effect on January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: changes that improve understanding of the Rules and changes that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance.

The rule book, entitled “The Rules of Golf,” is published regularly and also contains rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, checking that these rules are observed by clubs, associations and their members, and administering the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
