Distance-measuring devices such as laser rangefinders will be permitted for use during R&A amateur events this year, the organization’s Championship Committee announced Monday.
"It will not be introduced for The Open Championship or any qualifying event for The Open Championship," the R&A said in its statement, adding that the committee is not intending for the change to serve as a recommendation for other tournament organizers.
The Championship Committee is exercising the option under a local rule that has been in effect since 2006.
