hckymeyer Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Rules are confusing and there could be a different rule that applies, but this is what I found with a quick search. I would take this to mean it's all good and nothing wrong was done. On a side note, do you want to be the guy who wins because they called a penalty for some guy borrowing a range finder? 8-1/2 Exchanging Distance InformationInformation regarding the distance between two objects is public information and not advice. It is therefore permissible for players to exchange information relating to the distance between two objects. For example, a player may ask anyone, including his opponent, fellow-competitor or either of their caddies, the distance between his ball and the hole.

cnosil Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Obviously distance is public knowledge. I guess the question is really about the legality of borrowing equipment. I did a quick search an found this: Borrowing EquipmentBorrowing a club from a fellow competitor is prohibited, but the rules do not prevent a player from borrowing other equipment, including range finders.
