Communication Devices Policy

Communication Devices: Players may use cell phones and other internet communication devices as well as smart watches only as a Rules of Golf source, a distance measuring device, and to access the CWDGA Tournament Rules and Four-Ball Rules as long as there is no function which measures wind speed or gradient. In addition players may use a cell phone to request a ruling. A telephone number will be included on the Notice to Competitors. Players are prohibited from using cell phones for any other phone calls or for texts. If the CWDGA determines that this policy has been violated, the player will receive a warning. A second violation at any CWDGA event will result in disqualification under a code of conduct violation (Rule 1.2b). A third violation will result in disqualification from all CWDGA events for the remainder of the current playing season.
