I don’t know whether the Marshall with us was using his stop watch, but not once did he say anything about any of us going over time. I don’t know, either. The penalty would have been to walk a hole – a forced half. If still slow – walk another. This was the regional pennant final (VGL), so lots of teams all crammed on to a course. I was in the first group off the 10th. Did the first nine (10-18) in just under 2 hours (4 players, match play, serious, not bad). When we arrived at the first hole, we had to wait for over half an hour for the rest of the field to get started. Then another 2½ hrs following on.

Does this same rule apply to tablets like the Ipad?

Yes, if it has a compass. If it has gps, it has a compass. If it doesn’t have gps, it’s no bloody good on the course, except to look up rules.

The funny thing is, take the sim card out of your phone and the GPS still works (the Golfshot App, at least). You can’t check the weather, can’t make phone calls etc, so in theory it should be fine. Alas, I gave in bought a wicked Bushnell Rangefinder GPS and don’t use the iPhone app anymore.
Tramps like us, baby we were born to run. |

The gps functionality has nothing to do with the sim card, nor does the compass. Neither requires a data connection to the internet. But you are right in that you couldn’t check the weather.
