Travel to Scotland for five Italian players who will be involved in the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge, the Challenge Tour tournament scheduled for 10 to 13 August. On the course of the Newmachar Golf Club, near Aberdeen, Matteo Manassero, Jacopo Vecchi Fossa, Aron Zemmer, Gregorio De Leo and Stefano Mazzoli will be on the starting tee with the former, among the favorites of the eve, who will try to conquer the third title season, with which he would get on the DP World Tour, or at least to maintain or consolidate his third place in the Road To Mallorca (order of merit), a ranking that at the end of the season will grant the first 20 the 'card' for the 2024 major circuit.

Farmfoods Scottish Challenge, schedule

In race 15 among the current top 20, including seven among the 10 who are those, like Manassero, almost safe from surprises. Among them, the French Ugo Coussaud (n. 2), Lorenzo Scalise (n. 5) and Andrea Pavan (n. 8) will be missing, who may lose something, but it is certainly a calculated risk to allow yourself a breather in view of the the final sprint was challenging.

Standing out in this group is the Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick, Matt's younger brother, who with last week's success in the British Challenge moved from 21st to seventh place on the money list and who seems more than ever determined to climb further. The South African Casey Jarvis (n. 1) has a good lead, one title in the year, and the Welshman Stuart Manley (n. 9) also owes his position to a victory, while the Spaniard Manuel Elvira (n. 9) is relying on regularity ( No. 4), the Swede Adam Blomme (No. 6) and the other South African Brandon Stone (No. 10).

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 maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by 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 has been in force since 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 manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
