May a Committee, by Local Rule, permit the use of distance-measuring devices?
A.
Yes. A Committee may establish a Local Rule allowing players to use a device to measure or gauge distance only (see the Note to Rule 14-3). However, if a distance measuring device has additional functionality that can gauge or measure other conditions that might affect a player’s play (e.g. elevation change, wind speed, etc.), the use of any such additional function would be a breach of Rule 14-3.
In the absence of such a Local Rule, the use of a distance-measuring device would be contrary to Rule 14-3. (Revised)
