Rules of decisions of Golf - Golf GPS

Many golfers would like to know what professionals know for the information on the course. All these information their caddies provide before and during a tournament.
Caddies come out the day before a tournament and walk the course by taking measurements and distances from tee to all areas of interest to exhibit. These would include the slope of the fairway, zones stacking hazards such as bunkers, trees, shrubs, lakes and, of course, distances for the Greens with flag daily positions even shape and run off areas on the Greens.
For those of us who play our sleeves and struggle with distances and club selection, help is at hand. The leaders of Golf were ceded to the Amateur golfer. You can now use GPS electronic devices for your turn. There is a big "but", if you play in competition, local rules come into force. Certain golf courses allow measurements of distance only, if your device is more than that, then you are not authorized to use and could be disqualified if you.
If your device is one that can show you all the problems that the course throws up its unlikely that the local decision will be, so you cannot use this device. Which eliminates almost all GPS units, because all the amazing information that they provide?
R & A and the United States Golf Association announced these changes among the 111 amendments to the decisions of book on the
Rules of Golf. Published every two years, the new edition will become effective for all golfers from January 1, 2006.
Rules of decisions of Golf, Golf GPS. The real rule reads as:
Another important change is the sanction of the governing bodies of the use of devices, including distance measuring laser range finders and GPS systems based. New decision 14-3/0.5 allows a Committee to permit the use of local rule of distance measuring devices. This applies to devices that measure the distance only, not other conditions that could affect a set of players such as wind or degraded. In the absence of such a local rule, the use of a distance measuring device remains contrary to the rules.
The rules do not say that you cannot walk the course with your GPS device the day before of your competitors and take notes on the dangers and areas of interest and distances for the Greens, after that all that is just what real caddies do.
If you are in need of better management of courses and enhance the feeling that with more information about the course you play your game I suggests that you buy one of these devices. There is nothing in the rules that says that you cannot use the device for each golf day with your friends, you could even share your information with your golf partner, just to make it fairunless you have these GPS devices, then I see no problem.
"It's just common sense of Golf".
