BB&O leads and others follow!
Following the lead set by BB&O in 2008 the English Golf Union has decided to allow the use of Distance Measuring Devices (DMDs) in their events from 1st January 2009. Most other Counties will follow suit and the English Golf Union South East Group will also (probably) confirm their use in their events and matches at the February Committee Meeting.
