Dear Linda,
Is it allowed to wear a headset to avoid "noise" from cars, helicopters, greenkeepers, other players...
Kind regards,
Lou from Belgium
Dear Lou,
No. A sound-deadening headset would be ruled an unconventional device that would assist you in your play. This is a violation of Rule 14-3, and it carries a two-stroke penalty (loss of hole in match play).
You are, however, permitted to wear a headset to listen to music.
Linda
