(STATEMENT) — We are disappointed by the decision of the PGA Tour to implement a local rule restricting the use of topographical greens maps. Improved data has helped revolutionize nearly all sports, golf included, and this is an unfortunate step backwards.
That being said, as it relates to our business, we don’t anticipate the ruling having a significant impact. The PGA Tour doesn’t allow use of rangefinders, pushcarts or the wearing of shorts and the overwhelming majority of tournaments permit players to do all three. We anticipate both recreational and high-level amateur competitions will continue to allow use of “The Book” and other topographical greens maps, a decision we believe to be in the best interest of the game.
Amateurs don’t enjoy the benefit of being able to spend days on the course “sketching” greens complexes like Tour players and their caddies. We will continue to offer our USGA legal book to 99% of the world's golfers, and we will also have the ability to provide a book that conforms to the new local rule in the event a tournament committee chooses to utilize it.

When the semester ends, there is a lot of training on students and they do not always understand how to cope with them. Therefore, I always tried to do everything during the semester, and if I did not have time to write some essay, I always sought a quality essay writing service They came to me at price and speed.
