What are the rules concerning cell phones in competition. For instance: calling a partner in a Zone qualifying to keep track of how they are doing on particular holes that you haven’t played yet. At the least its very bad form.
In general cell phones should not be used on the golf course. The NCGA Conditions of the Competition has the following statement: “CELLULAR PHONES: The use of cellular phones or any similar electronic device by a player or his caddie during a stipulated round is prohibited. Failure to observe this Condition of the Competition may result in disciplinary action including withdrawing a player’s playing privileges for the rest of the championship or for the event the following year.”
Decision 14-3/16 covers many different possible ways a cell phone can be used and which are not allowed. You can read that decision by going to the USGA’s website at http://www.usga.org/playing/rules/books/rules.html
