Golf is open to all
Other equipment - allowed and prohibited
You may use equipment to help your play during a round, except that you must not create a potential advantage by:
- Using equipment (other than a club or a ball) that artificially eliminates or reduces the need for a skill or judgment that is essential to the challenge of the game, or
- Using equipment (including a club or a ball) in an abnormal way in making your stroke. “Abnormal way” means a way that is fundamentally different than its intended use and is not normally recognized as part of playing the game.
