In our golf club monthly competition, some of our senior
members use a non-conforming driver to gain more distance.
Do you have any advice? Should we allow them to do so?
What should we do regarding posting scores?
Regards,
Lou from Thailand
Dear Lou,
A player who uses a club that does not conform to the
specifications in Rule 4 and Appendix II is disqualified [Penalty Statement
following Rule 4-2].
The USGA Handicap System does not permit a player to post a
score from a round in which he has used a non-conforming club [The USGA
Handicap System, 5-1f (vii)]. I cannot speak for other countries, but I suspect
the ruling would be the same.
