Au Contrare, a chronic cheat will have an accurate handicap for his ability that includes his cheating skill. Golf Cheats like this are not so different from chronic liars, theives, or serial killers. People are not born this way or suddenly become this, they all start out with a conscience just like you and me. It all begins with a little lie, a little cheat an so on. They will feel guilty about that. But then as they probably were not caught, gave into the temptation and did it again, and again. Each time that they cheat their conscience is eroded a little bit, so they feel less and less guilt, and therefore they repeat more often. Eventually they get to the point where they consider this behaviour is normal and do it without blinking an eyelid. You will notice this if you confront them about it. There will be no remorse, no admitting and a bunch of lies to cover it. One guy that I caught out claimed the other bloke in the cart marked both cards and he has brain damage, spent 30 minutes on the phone telling me what a good bloke he was and didn't want anyone to think he cheats. Next time he got caught it was that he was on medication and drinking too much. The stupidity and arrogance of him is that he has a scratch or better handicap and recorded scores of 10+ better than he had when playing with other low markers. Obviously it's easy to knock off a stroke or two with the pencil but not 10 in that situation. The guy clearly lives in his own world, and I am sure we all have met people like that.

So the R & A are saying an Android is the same as an iPhone?. Samsung will be stoked.

I put my stats in on course... and I have played with a couple of people lately who thought I was SMSing when I was doing it. They were fine with it when I set them straight

Monsta, aren't you the same guy who sent me a Gamebook friend request, which requires you to use a smart phone while on the course?

Monsta,
I see you put through a friend request on GameBook yesterday. How are you planning on updating your scores on it?

Very anti social behaviour, not sure who said it but the best quote for these modern times is "Smart phones are breeding dumb people"
Screw old school. I am calling you 'dinosaur Kev'.
On an Internet based forum, complaining about technology & how smart phones are ruining our lives. The irony.

Matty, it was 100% pure shameless trolling.
The rule has been a long term pet hate of mine, even though I don't, and never have, used an iphone as a DMD.
For a sport that is based so heavily on honesty, I find it hypocritical of the rule makers to say to smart phone users that they don't trust you to use your iphone as a DMD because you might open the compass app. Yet it's ok to have numerous other golf related apps open. I also fail to see the reasoning behind the compass rule.

I've walked off course once after seeing dark clouds and lightning in the west. I checked the BOM site and could see it was coming straight at us. Sure enough the course got smashed 20 minutes later.
I've had 2 very close calls with lightning on course. I don't intend having a third. I'll continue to access the BOM site in future. The R&A can go to hell.

I agree with you for the most part mike, but as It was explained to me:
(paraphrasing here)
many apps, whilst they are used for measuring distance, also activate the Compass in certain Smartphones, and can show additional information such as temperature, wind speeds etc for your current area. Apparently, rather than going through each, individual app and saying this ones ok, that ones not as well as the propensity for the apps to be updated on a daily basis, the R and A took any and all confusion out of it and said No Smartphones as DMD's (also removes the arguments for iPhones/Androids etc).

Fair enough but compass, thermometer and wind speed/direction indicator ain't gonna make a squid of difference to 99% of weekend golfers.

i don't see how a compass would help the pro's, let alone anyone else. A thermometer, the same thing. I know that they know to within a meter or so how far theyre irons go, but even they say that it all depends on how they are on the day.
Donald said in one of his videos, his 7 iron will vary up to 10m in length depending on how he's feeling, how relaxed or uptight he is etc. i doubt an extra 1 or 2* in temperature is going to affect that (or knowing for it and allowing for it)
