Ryan Werre climbed the 40-or-so-foot pine tree, bought towards the highest and shook it with all he had. Somebody then shouted what he needed to listen to, and Werre appeared again down. 

“There it’s,” the person mentioned.  

“There you go,” one other mentioned. 

However no, it wasn’t his golf ball. 

“That was a pine cone,” one more man mentioned.  

“Oh, that was a pine cone?” the primary man mentioned. 

A short time later, Werre labored his manner again down the tree on the fitting aspect of the 18th gap at Highwood Golf Membership in Excessive River, Alberta, and some of the weird finishes to a golf event continued. As first reported by Alberta Golf, Werre had led the Alberta Males’s Mid Novice Championship on Thursday by two pictures when he hit his tee proper on the ultimate gap of his remaining spherical, then hit … someplace. 

“It was a whirlwind,” eventual winner Jesse Galvon informed Alberta Golf. “It was a really fascinating final gap.”

That it was. And it started when Werre hit his second shot on the par-4 18th, an iron from about 200 yards out. His ball went proper towards the tree, he and others believed it swallowed up the shot, and Werre began his climb. His reasoning? He would take an unplayable ball penalty, however he was making an attempt to develop his reduction choices: If he may establish it, he may lateral reduction beneath rule 19.2c, or back-on-the-line reduction, beneath rule 19.2b; if he couldn’t ID his ball, he can be pressured to take the rather more penal stroke-and-distance reduction possibility, beneath rule 19.2. 

For the rules-allotted three minutes, Werre appeared, climbed and shook. Nothing, although if there have been an honor for effort, he would have earned it.   

From there, Werre hit right into a penalty space, signed for a quintuple-bogey 9 and tied for fourth, whereas Galvon took a par-four and overcame a two-shot deficit on the ultimate gap. 

“The craziest end I’ve ever seen in individual,” Galvon informed Alberta Golf. “I don’t know if there’s a crazier end that individuals know of.”
