GPS Phone to Help Golfers

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2008/03/129_20663.html

KTF said that it will help golfers aim their tee-shots better with its phones equipped with a virtual golf caddy program. The option allows its users to measure the distance from the tee box to their current positions or from their current positions to the cup. For this, the phones carry the geographic information of some 250 golf courses in Korea and receive real-time data from satellites, the company said.

If professional golfer uses GPS phone, being unlawfulness or lawfulness?

Well, I enjoyed playing 'Everybody's golf(hot shot)' series on playstation 2 very much. In that game, all info were provided to the player with; direction of shot, wind changes, courses' bird's eye view, remained distance etc... Probably this technology enable golfers to keep better score, but I believe PGA top rankers will not depend on these gadgets. :)
