Can you use skycaddie in golf tournaments?
The PGA Tour bans any kind of device that can measure the yardage or wind or anything in that nature. The only time that a player/caddie can use such a device would be during a Pro/Am or other event that does not earn them money directly and the PGA Tour as authorized it which is almost never. If someone is caught using one of these devices they will be disqualified.
Note: Jerry Rice was in a Nationwide Tour event and was disqualified after his caddie used a range finder to find a yardage.

Can a golfer play both right handed and left handed in the same round of golf?
No, it doesn't make any difference just whatever you feel most comfortable with. The world's number 2 player (Phil Mickelson) is left handed, although there are not many famous left handed pros. As a rule of thumb, a right handed writer would play right handed and vice versa, although this is not always the case, Phil Mickelson writes right handed.
