Italian fine jewelry brand "FOPE" has opened its first flagship store in Japan, "FOPE GINZA," marking a significant milestone for the brand. Nestled amidst the opulence of Ginza, where luxury brands reign supreme, FOPE GINZA will captivate discerning shoppers with its understated elegance, becoming the brand's third flagship store in the world, following locations in Piazza San Marco in Venice and Old Bond Street in London.

Amidst the towering buildings that define the vibrant cityscape of Ginza, FOPE GINZA stands out with its new elegant two-story white building, housing FOPE's finest creations and representing its inaugural flagship presence in Japan.

"I am thrilled and proud of the opening of FOPE’s Japan flagship store in our third year in the market. It brings me immense joy to open the store alongside my family and the future generations of the Cazzola family," said Umberto  Cazzola, FOPE Chairman.

Spanning approximately 100 square meters, the bright and inviting interior of the store showcases elements inspired by Italian architecture and design. The façade features Venetian Terrazzo in light colors, with separate panels arranged in a pyramid-like structure, reminiscent of the facades of Renaissance palaces. At night, retro illumination installed between the panels softly illuminates the building and its surroundings.

Inside, the store is divided into three areas reminiscent of Renaissance humanistic architecture, separated by three arches. The open atrium at the entrance welcomes customers with an abundance of natural light flowing through two glass windows, serving as a welcoming space. In the center, there is a spacious customer service area where customers can try on FOPE's collection at their leisure.

Further inside, a VIP room is available for private viewing, and on the second floor, a chic café allows customers to further enjoy the ambiance and offers a unique experience when events are simultaneously held on both floors. Witness the enchantment of FOPE GINZA illuminating the Ginza landscape and captivating jewelry enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

On the course this past weekend, I putt from just off the green and my ball struck my playing partners ball, knocking it closer to the hole.

After a quick giggle, we began to discuss the ruling, 'I'll play from there and its a one-shot penalty for you' my friend said. 'I was off the green' I said, 'Doesn't matter' he said. Right, I said. 'Hang on, and I'll consult the rule book'.

Luckily, I had The R&A's Rules of Golf on my phone (Well worth a download and it's FREE)

Without quoting the book verbatim, there are basically three scenarios which you should be mindful of:

What happens if I ground my club in a bunker? The new rules of golf explained

In 2020, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) made several changes to the rules of golf.

One major change was to the "drop procedure" when a ball is lost or out of bounds. Players are now allowed to drop the ball from shoulder height, rather than knee height, making the process more consistent and less prone to mistakes. Another change was to the rule regarding penalty strokes. Players will no longer be penalized for accidentally moving a ball on the green, such as when marking or lifting it.

Additionally, players are now allowed to repair almost any damage to the course, such as spike marks on the green. The changes also include simplifying the rules for bunkers, allowing players to touch or move loose impediments...
