Distance-measuring devices receive mixed review’ as PGA Tour evaluates test period.

PGA Championship was the final event in a five-week , seven -tournament test period that allowed players to use DMDs during competition rounds.

Rickie Fowler : “Honestly, not really,” if rangefinders helped pace of play.

Tour officials plan to look at individual player speed-of-play averages.

The Korn Ferry Tour held a similar test period with DMDs as well as a dramatic change to the timing policy on the secondary circuit’s timing policy.

A player receives a “bad time” when they exceed the allotted time to play a shot, which varies depending on where the shot is played and the order of play.

The new policy allows for a one -stroke penalty for the first bad time.”.
