• Measuring Devices

The use of measuring devices will be permitted under R&A rule 14-3/0.5.
A committee may establish a Local Rule allowing players to use devices that measure distance only. However, the use of devices that gauge or measure other conditions that might affect a player’s play (e.g. wind or gradient) is not permitted. In the absence of such a Local Rule, the use of a distance measuring devices would be contrary to Rule 14-3 (New).

Players/partners in the fourball matches may share the use of a measuring device but in the singles matches only the player as an individual can use the measuring device for himself/herself. (No sharing of measuring device in singles matches)

Spectators are encouraged, however not on the golf course itself and with no golf cart use.
