ARTIFICIAL MEASURING DEVICES - not permitted in Ayrshire events

Taking their lead from the national body, The Ayrshire Golf Association have decided that artificial measuring devices will not be permitted in any of their events in 2008.

In a note to Rule 14-3 of the new Rules Of Golf, effective from 1st January 2008, Committees may make a Local Rule allowing players to use devices that measure or gauge distance only.

In 2008, regardless of any local rule of the host club, such a local rule will not be in operation for any Ayrshire County event.

Any player using such a device, in breach of Rule 14-3 will be subject to disqualification.
