Which I am afraid is 100% nonsense as clearly on at least some occasions with some players use of a DMD or GPS device will slow up play. Question answered by the EGU findings will have been more carefully worded than a simple 'do they contribute to slow play'
You give me a GPS or DMD to use - and my play will slow down - fact - as I can generally assess my shot as I walk to my ball, take my club out, address ball and hit it. If I use a DMD or other device I will be inclined to make use of it - and I will. So I will slow up.
Anyway - speed of play is not my gripe with any such device and so a yes or no to the question will not convince me. But that is another thread.
SLH. Have you ever actually used one?
Or is this just dogmatic 'No it doesn't work' (yes it does) or 'distance estimation is part of the game' (no it isn't) in the same way that your assessment of EGU's questionnaire was.
You do seem someone who would be better advised to use a GPS though - even one of the talking ones. These can be checked just as you approach the ball rather than getting there, getting the laser out etc.
