Golf Gps Devices
Is it legal to use a leveling device to determine green slope?
In the past range finders were under scrutiy for providing golfers with an “unfair advantage” of knowledge of the course and weren’t allowed to be used. Once GPS came into heavy use, I think this rule was dropped, and now GPS devices are legal for use in tournaments.
However, my iPhone has an electronic leveler on it than can help to determine the green slope at certain points. I have never used it during a round (but I have tested it on a practice green), but I was wondering if these are allowed by golf rules?
Eric, it is illegal to use during the round. However, if you wish to measure the greens BEFORE the round to “map out” the green, it is perfectly legal. As a matter of fact, there is an entire system of green reading based upon using a modified level called Aimpoint. It is the system you occasionally see used on televised PGA events to show the putt line.
