<p>A measuring device, for use in the game of golf, comprises two or more elongate rigid tubular elements 10, 11, 12 which are slidable one within another so as to be telescopically extendable. The elements are marked with a longitudinal measuring scale (27, 28, 29 fig 4) having units which correspond to the diameter of a standard golf ball. The device is used to ascertain whether a ball is a "gimme", i.e. whether it is within a previously agreed distance from the hole so that the player is not required actually to putt the ball into the hole. In use, a player sets the device to the previously agreed length and then offers the device up to the space between the hole 31 and the ball 30.</p> |
