Holes are measured in feet, putting circle is 30'
Why is there a 2 meter rule?

Putting Circle is 10 meters = 32.80839895 feet
We have the 2 meter rule because Nick Kight wasn't satisfied with the number of reasons he had for people to hate him.

Actually the putting circle as you call it is 10 meters. ;)

Sweet! Got it! Need a metric measuring tape. That's all I wanted to know!
I'm guessing I read that some where and forgot since people I play with always say 30'.
Reading is fundamental.

Most people say 30' when they should really be saying 33'which is 2 inches past 10M.

I never jump putt anyway. Id just hurt myself and look silly(ier) than usual. I'm gonna have to go to my back yard and see what 33' is like though.

carrying a range finding device is illegal... why would it be illegal (& please show me where) to keep a tape measure to determine 2 meter rulings or CTP's?

Read the rulebook before you talk out of your tailpipe, Junior:
802.04A:
A. During a round, a player shall not use any artificial device that may assist in making a throw, except those devices that reduce or control abrasion to the skin (such as gloves, tape, bandages, gauze, etc.) and medical items (such as knee and ankle braces, etc.). Items used to prevent slipping on the teeing surface are also allowed. A player is specifically prohibited from using any artificial device that changes the position of the disc in the player�s hand or artificially lengthens any of the player�s throwing levers (fingers, wrist, arm, shoulder, etc.). The use of devices which assist in determining distances over 10 meters, such as range finders and GPS devices are prohibited. Measuring devices such as a tape measure may be carried and used to determine distances 10 meters and less for the purpose of rules enforcement.
