Don’t be intimidated, there are numerous resources available to help you learn the rules of golf. In addition to the links below, you can often get clarification from other VSWGA members, your club’s golf professional, or various publications created to demonstrate the rules of golf including condensed and illustrated versions you can carry in your bag. VSWGA supports educational opportunities to help our members learn the Rules of Golf, including assisting with the cost of attending workshops.

 

 

The Rules of the United States Golf Association govern play in all VSWGA events including State Days and major tournaments.

Other Resources: 

  • 15 rules every golfer should know
  • USGA Rules Home
  • Look up any rule or read FAQ
  • Take rules quizzes
  • Rules changes made in 2023
  • Rules changes made in 2019

Still stumped by a rules issue? Reach out to anyone on the VSWGA Rules Committee (listed in your handbook) or email the USGA itself (rules@usga.org). They really do respond.
