If you are a ‘Gollin’ who is not familiar with golf, there has been a recent confusion. The Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour SK Telecom Open, which was held on the 21st, was run limping as the first round was delayed by four hours due to bad weather. On the other hand, the E1 Charity Open of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, held on the 28th, proceeded normally despite the rain.
It rained the same, but why did they make a different decision? The event organizing committee decides whether to stop or continue the race due to weather. The United States Golf Association (USGA), which makes world golf rules, only wrote down in golf rule 5.7 that ‘if the committee declares a suspension of play’ regarding whether a game is played due to weather. There are no detailed standards such as precipitation or wind strength. Golf is basically a sport that adapts to the nature of the day, such as weather, grass, and terrain. So even if it rains, I just hit it whenever I can. However, there are situations where cancellation is absolutely necessary. that’s the fog It was because of the fog that the first round of the SK Telecom Open was delayed for nearly four hours. If you can’t see the ball flying, you can’t play normally.
The second is lightning strikes. The event organizers as well as golfers can suspend play when there is a reasonable suspicion that there is a risk of lightning strikes. It says so in the Rules of Golf (5.7a). If you hold a golf club made of steel that conducts electricity well, it becomes a lightning rod. A competitor sensing this danger shall report the lightning risk to the Committee as soon as possible, indicating that otherwise they may be disqualified. In addition, when rainwater collects in bunkers, fairways, and roughs, making it difficult for the game to be held normally, the organizing committee may decide to stop the game.먹튀검증
Among outdoor sports such as golf, cricket seriously contemplates whether to hold a tournament even if it rains even a drop. Cricket is a sport in which the goal is scored by bouncing a ball on the ground and hitting it with a bat. When it rains, the ground becomes wet and there is no bounce, making normal game progress difficult. However, even if it rains a lot, cricket is not postponed until the next time. At the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, in the Kuwait-Maldives match, Kuwait won the coin toss and advanced to the quarterfinals.
