Distance Devices

Devices which measure DISTANCE ONLY, are permitted to be used on the course. If a player uses a distance measuring device which is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect their play, (eg. gradient, windspeed etc) the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is actually used.
