The scorecard must be marked by a fellow competitor or playing partner who must be a member of Langdon Hills Golf Club with a current handicap. In exceptional circumstances, at the discretion of a committee member, a non-participating marker may be allowed.

Distance Measuring Devices: For all competitive play at LHGC a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. 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 143, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is used.

The Committee has ruled that during competitive play at Langdon Hills all mobile telephones MUST be switched to silent mode.

Any player who feels a fellow competitor’s use of a mobile telephone, other than in an emergency, is causing him disturbance should report such use to the Committee.
