Electronic Measuring Devices for TPGA and TGA Events
Beginning in 2006 The Tennessee PGA will be adopting a Local Rule permitting the use of Electronic Measuring Devices (EMD's) for ALL its competitions with the exception of qualifiers of National PGA events or PGA Tour events. This includes all Sanctioned Events such as the Callaway Open and the Harold Eller Memorial Pro-Am, in which professionals and amateurs both will be permitted to use such devices.
Note: "In Tennessee PGA events,a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. However, 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, wind-speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional functions are actually used.”
The Tennessee Golf Association is not adopting the local rule to allow Electronic Measuring Devices during their Championships. The only events in which the TGA will adopt the local rule will be for Regional One Day Events.
