What is the NGAs position on non-conforming equipment?
The NGA conducts all of its competitions pursuant to the Rules of Golf. Accordingly, the NGA endorses the USGA position that a single set of rules, including those for equipment, best serves all constituencies of the game, including both competitive and recreational players. For all NGA competitions, use of a non-conforming golf club or ball is a violation of the Rules of Golf and will result in a penalty of disqualification. Likewise, any rounds played with non-conforming equipment are not acceptable for handicap posting.
