Is the breakmaster legal?

By Ron Wilkerson, BreakMaster President

OK,  so the BreakMaster is cool and can help you read and chart greens, and  it can also help train your eye to read breaking putts... but is it LEGAL?

Legal? Yes and No.

According  to the Rules of Golf, it would not be legal to use the BreakMaster to  measure a green during a stipulated round BEFORE you putt.

However,  it is perfectly legal to use the BreakMaster AFTER you putt, to take  measurements of a green and make notes on the Break Direction and Break  Amount in a Custom Greens Book for future reference.  After a few rounds  of doing this, you will have the inside track on how each green breaks  on that golf course. 


It is therefore LEGAL to use your Greens Book notes during any stipulated  or competitive round of golf. This is what Tour Pros and Caddies have  been doing for years, and it’s one reason why they have such low scores.

So,  to recap: it's legal to use the BreakMaster to make notes in a Custom  Greens Book during a round as long as you do it after you've holed out.  Use your Greens Book every time you play that course. It's easy, fun and  absolutely LEGAL!

There is also a NEW RULING by the USGA and R&A that allows the use of Greens Books in competition.  Read all about it HERE.
