Challenge Tour Pro
Well Iam still confused with this ruling,here is a letter I read in Today's Golfer.
I was playing in the quarter final of a matchplay event and my opponent pointed out it is illegal to use a smartphone GPS app during a competition,as it has a weather app on it which measures temp and wind spead.I argued it was a general forecast for the area,but he got on the phone to the pro shop and I was d/q on the spot. I have since checked the rule with the egu and found out that you can use a smartphone or andriod app as a dmd. I was also correct that weather apps are ok to have on your phone as they don't in fact measure or gauge conditions.
