Hi Linda,
Is it legal for me to take a small portable leaf-blower with me when playing golf so I can more easily find my ball by blowing leaves away from the area within which it landed?
Thank you,
Lou from Surrey near London, England
Dear Lou,
I consulted the USGA for an answer to this most unusual question. I was informed that the Rules do not prohibit the use of a leaf blower to move leaves to help search for your ball. However, you should practice good etiquette and ensure that any noise made by the leaf blower does not disturb another player.
Linda
