Legends Tour, penultimate event in Vietnam

Emanuele Canonica is preparing to take the field in the prestigious Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 tournament, which will take place from 30 November to 2 December at the Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang, on the coast of southern Vietnam. In this penultimate event of the Legends Tour, Canonica will face eight of the ten best players of the Road to Mauritius (order of merit), including the first in the ranking, the Englishman Peter Baker, followed by the Brazilian Adilson Da Silva, the South African James Kingston, by the other Englishman Philip Archer and the Welshman Philip Price. There is no shortage of possible outsiders for the final victory, such as the Major winner Michael Campbell from New Zealand and the Welshman Stephen Dodd, protagonist of the recent victory at the 2021 Senior Open Championship.

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 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.
