Thought I'd post this in the main thread as many of you won't be looking at the South East thread - re: Mobile Phones during KoK.

After last years Help for Heroes at West Hill where mobile phones as DMDs were allowed, I had assumed that they would be allowed in the KoK competition too. I asked in the South East KoK thread to be sure, and it seems that the 1st competition held in the South West did not allow them, and they will be not allowed in the South East KoK too.

So it would seem that there will be no Mobile Phones as DMDs across the whole comp, and I almost didn't ask & would have just cracked on with using mine... no doubt I'd have been DQ'ed before the 18th!!

So a note to all, especially those who played last years H4H day - don't use them!!

Although I believe your wrong, as this was discussed at the outset and was decided they could be used, I would think it best to get used to not using them anyway as they can't be used in qualifiers at your own club so why get used to using them elsewhere?

See #256, fully endorsed by Dave but left to regional organisers so if 2 decided they weren't allowed, as stated, that was up to them! However, I doubt it!

I don't care whether people use DMDs, caddies, aim point, stack and tilt, belly putters, custom fitted tees or even carry chippers.

It's up to each regional coordinator how they run their show.

I never play comps, I'm what is known as a weekend warrior, so it's never an issue for me.

I thought it was a bit harsh, but hey who am I to argue with the rules of golf??

Duffer, if you want to use your mobile as a dmd in the SE KOK's then its fine by me, like ive said it dont care as in reality I dont think it makes a huge difference at our level of play.

That said though, it was agreed with us organisers that you can only win the KOK if you have an official handicap do you have one?

I agree with Fish on this..... also, & its only a wild guess Mr Dufferman, that the trophy you're next to on your Avatar was not won by you :smirk:
