If it speeds the game up, go for it! I do have a chuckle though when I ask did it make any difference and they say no really cause I don't know what club I hit to 174 yards lol
Well you learn something everyday!
I've always thought that in competitive play it's a penalty to ask for a yardage. Ok if someone tells you, but you can't ask.
Probably one of the reasons why I never ask, although I don't have a problem with it either way.
its only fact if the person using the rangefinder knows how to..
Last week one of our 4ball had borrowed one and was announcing to all who wanted to know yardages which were quite obviously wrong... Confirmed by my cheap app on the iphone......
Agree with you on that one, it's not going to matter to me one bit if they know a yardage.I play for the enjoyment and the friendliness of the game so I'll always answer any question an opponent asks - they still have to execute their own shot so I can't see it really matters.
Did you not tell him that his yardages were wrong ?
If in a club comp an your not my 4bbb partner you wont be getting told simple as that buy one if you need to know distance
Think you crossed the line here I will share yardages but share my Twix / Snicker not a chanceClassy guy.
Bet you don't offer out a bit of your Twix either?
Quite a lot of "experienced" players at my club insist that sharing that information is against the rules just like the "what club did you use" confusion.No problem for me, did so yesterday with my opponent in a SGU Taskers Trophy match, and here is the R&A's stance, took from.....http://www.randa.org/en/RandA/News/...les-Regarding-Distance-Measuring-Devices.aspx
Q. If the Local Rules for distance-measuring devices is in place, may players share a distance-measuring device?A. Yes, but it is important that players sharing devices do not unduly delay play. In addition, information on distance obtained from a distance-measuring device can be shared between the player, partner, fellow-competitor or opponent if so wished.
