Devices should be set on silent mode and kept out of sight except for discreet usage.  Texting and reading from electronic devices is permitted, provided such use does not interfere with pace of play or another member's use and enjoyment of the club. Please keep usage to a minimum with no voice communication and all ringers silenced.
