Rule of the Week

Using Ball Markers With Slope Readings

Are these very popular ball markers that measure slope legal for competition play ?

Answer – No, because they provide information that is not allowed to be gained by artificial means, violating Rule 4.3a. This would incur a penalty of loss of hole in in match play or a two-stroke penalty in stroke play.
