Shocker: Thank heaven for the recent rule changes! Keith Fox was having tree trouble on the Sunday and his ball bounced off one tree and finished under his golf cart.
Having moved the cart away, Keith tried again but, yet again, he struck that tree, bounced back and struck the cart a severe blow.
Both tree, cart and players were happy when his next shot went onto the green.
