Eddie Pepperell says that his putter didn’t work. But his clock punishes him.
However, it all created a good story, and Pepperell shared it this week A video Released by the social team of the DP World Tour, where it was asked for the benefits when the last time they had bought a club. The question is certainly a fascinating question. While amateurs are coming an account, the professionals have club freeders in line.
Wyndham Clark, interviewed for this week’s Omega European Masters in Switzerland, said his last club was bought during his Rookie year on the PGA Tour. “I didn’t like my putter,” he said, “and I went to a golf shop and bought a putter and I did it for half a year.”
Danny Willett? He also said it was a putter – from the Augusta National Pro Shop for his wife for her birthday. “She said it helped her to convert,” Willett said, “so I had to buy her one.”
What about Miguel Angel Jimenez?
“I think it was a putter,” he said. “Long time, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago. And I can’t tell you when the last time ever is.”
Then there is Romain Langasque – he said that that moment has not come yet.
“I think I never bought a golf club for myself,” he said, “because my family did it and when I was at the federation, they got the clubs for us, so no.”
But in the opinion of this correspondent, Pepperell’s story was the best.
The double DP World Tour winner said that he last bought a club at the UAE Challenge at the beginning of April, a tournament at the Hotel Planner Tour, the circuit under the DP World Tour. But we let him tell the rest.
“I didn’t feel well with my putter on the Thursday morning,” he said, “so I had an emergency trip to the Pro Shop in Al-Zorah Golf Club and spent about 500 pounds on this beautiful Odyssey Putter.
“And in the end I missed my tee time as a result, so I took a fine with two shots.
“First I started putting put with it, I hit a good putt and then I eliminated a 50-footer for an Adelaarnet-PAR because I lost my first ball. Then I threw it into the lake the week after, so it wasn’t long, but it was a nice putter.”
Good stuff. But why the fine with two shots? Pepperell was too late until his tee time, but appeared in the next five minutes. That falls under Rule 5.3 of the rules of Golf, which reads:
“The round of a player starts when the player makes a blow to start their first hole (see rule 6.1a). The player must start at (and not before) their starting time: this means that the player must be ready to play at the start time and starting point set by the committee. A starting time is arrested by the committee (for example, 9:00 am. There is no violation of this rule if the player is present and is ready to play when the player’s group can start.
