CJGA will not permit the use of distance-measuring devices in any of its 2009 events.

The Rules of Golf allows the Committee to permit the use of distance-measuring devices by Local Rule. In the absence of such a Local Rule, the use of a distance-measuring device would be a breach of Rule 14-3 and the penalty is disqualification from the event.

The Canadian Junior Golf Association will not adopt the Local Rule allowing the use of distance-measuring devices at any of its events in 2009. The Association will review the matter annually.
