Is Your Distance Measuring Device (DMD) illegal in Competitions? |

Hello Members,
It has come to my attention that smart phones are not permitted for use during competitions to measure distance.
This is from the R&A website.
Q. What about multi-functional devices, such as a mobile phone, with a distance measuring application?
A. On the course, subject to any club or course regulations, a multi-functional device may be used to phone, text or email – provided the purpose is not a breach of the Rules, e.g. you are not asking for advice.
When an application that measures distance has been downloaded to the device, the application must be restricted to providing only distance information in order to conform to the Local Rule. If there are any other features or applications on the phone that gauge or measure other conditions that might affect a player’s play, such as a temperature gauge, compass or anemometer, this would render the device non-conforming regardless of whether these other features or applications are used or not.
If you are not sure then look at this FLOWCHART from the R&A which covers the use of multi-functional devices and should be of assistance determining whether a certain device is permissable or not.

Local Rule 9th Hole
On the 9th hole; any ball coming to rest on the right-hand side of the mound (hole side)
or in the rough grass adjacent to it is deemed to be Ground Under Repair (GUR).
The player must lift and drop the ball, without penalty, within one club of and not
nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief.
The ball maybe cleaned when dropping.
On the 9th hole; any ball coming to rest on the left-hand side of the mound (practice area)
