Over the past several years, the Golf Association of Philadelphia has made a conscience effort to improve the Rules of Golf knowledge of its participants.
Beginning next year, every junior golfer who wishes to compete in a Golf Association of Philadelphia event will be required to take and pass a Rules examination.
The test will be administered on-line and may be taken as many times as necessary. This will help to ensure the integrity of our events and allow our Juniors to better deal with any rules situations that arise on the golf course.
More details will be available in this space beginning in the new year.
 Need a Rule Book?
Whether you are just beginning or have been studying the rules for years, it is essential to have a current Rules of Golf. This 144-page book contains all the information necessary to understand the rules of golf. However, if you find yourself craving more, the USGA also produces The Decisions on the Rules of Golf. The decisions are official proclamations from the USGA and R&A which explain the rules of golf.
To obtain a copy of the Rules of Golf or The Decisions on the Rules of Golf contact the United States Golf Association at 908-234-2300 or at USGA Publications. |
