16. The following Local Rule applies with regard to Distance Measuring Devices:
    In this competition a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only.  If, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. gradient, windspeed, temperature etc) the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification.

All matches must be played by the due date. If left to the last possible day for completion of the round and weather or course conditions are such that the match cannot be played, it is possible that both teams may be disqualified. If your opponents offer a choice of two or three dates, it would seem reasonable to accept one, rather than insist on your own choice. Neither is it reasonable to insist on undue delay because one of your player is on holiday or unavailable, particularly if that means playing after the final date for the round.  Home Clubs are asked to give their opponents a Courtesy practice round if requested.

Please note that agreed tee-off times must be adhered too, failure to do so may lead to either an individual match or team disqualification.
