Can I use a printed course guide?

May you check a printed course guide during the round to see how far it is to the putting green?

Answer

Yes, distance information from printed guides is allowed

You may use course guides and maps showing distances. For green-reading materials that show the slope of putting greens, there are only limits on scale and size. Electronic distance-measuring devices are also allowed, unless a Local Rule prohibits them.
