One question... Did you get a scorecard from this place. On the local rules does it say no mobile phones on the course, or is there a notice up anywhere that you observed?
If not I would have told him to sick his golf cart up his bum. I know rules are rules but if you are a visiting member and its not wrote down or visible for you to see then its rubbish.
I played a course in Spain. I had my laser range finder with me. During the 18 holes I must have used it about 8-9 times. Mainly on my second shots or par 3's. One par 3 was playing back to the pro shop. I took it out and measured the distance. hit my shot and went down to the green. On the 9th tee a guy from the pro shop came out lecturing me about time wasting and then said these devices were banned. I asked for notification on this and where it says this for visiting members. Granted he could have got me on slow play but this was not the case. I wasted about 20 seconds finding the range. Eventually I said to him show me the rule and I will stop using it, other wise refund me my 80 euros and I will leave. As quickly as he appears he retreated to his pro shop looking rather red faced.
