If it’s not visitors holding up play by taking endless photos, it is golfer taking calls when they should be playing a shot.
So should mobile phones be banned on the course? Is golf’s relationship with technology harming the game.
In this episode of The NCG Golf Podcast, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll tackle one of the game’s most contentious debates.
From ringing phones and social media distractions to GPS apps, score tracking and way we experience a round, we ask whether golf needs to draw a line.
