While competing in a tournament on the European Tour, German player Bernhard Langer’s ball lodges in the branches of a tree, some 15 feet above the ground. Since the rules of golf state you must clearly identify your ball before declaring it unplayable, he decides to climb the tree. Someone in the crowd suggests he take his “tree” iron. He smiles, but selects his wedge before beginning the climb. When he eventually reaches the ball, he decides he can play a shot. Balancing on one limb and bracing himself against another, Langer plays his ball onto the green and makes the putt for a par!
