ELLIOT SALTMAN TALKS ON SKY SPORTS TONIGHT

FROM THE SKY SPORTS WEBSITE
TONIGHT'S (Monday) Special Report tackles the issues surrounding the often complicated laws and disciplinary procedures in the game of golf.
We examine the case of Elliot Saltman, the rookie golfer from Scotland suspended by the European Tour for "a serious breach of the rules".
We track him down in Spain, still competing against the pros on a minor tour, and he speaks for the first time about the stigma of the ban.
We're also in Qatar where Lee Westwood calls for Saltman's ban to be extended worldwide and in Scotland where the R and A, the body in charge of upholding golf's laws, say everyone deserves a second chance.
As Saltman's lawyers consider an appeal, we investigate the Tour's disciplinary procedures and some big names in the game call for them to be overhauled.
We also look at the recent cases of the top pros disqualified after being shopped by armchair fans and the rule makers' plans to stop it from ever happening again.
Sky Sports' Mark Roe talks about the day he was disqualified from The Open and we find out how much the amateurs understand in our golf rules quiz.
Don't forget to tune in to Special Report on Sky Sports News - now available in HD on channel 455 - at 7.30pm on Monday.
