DMDs OK'd for USGA
Amateur Events
The USGA has approved the use of
distance-measuring devices (DMDs)
in all USGA amateur championships
and their respective qualifying events,
beginning in 2014.
" We have seen progressive developments
in technologies available to
golfers who seek to improve their playing
performance and enjoyment that
also maintain the essential elements of
the game, " says Thomas J. O'Toole Jr.,
USGA vice president and chairman of
the Championship Committee.
Players in amateur competitions
may use the devices
to measure distance only,
not other conditions such
as wind speed or direction,
temperature or elevation. (But, in accordance
with a recent rules change-
Decision 14-3/18-a player can access
weather information on smart phones
if their safety is threatened.)
The local rule applies to the USGA's
amateur events only. Players at the
U.S. Open, U.S. Women's Open and
U.S. Senior Open championships or
their respective qualifying events will
not be allowed to use them.
