What is the USGA’s role in the Rules of Golf?
The USGA works in concert with the R&A in St. Andrews, Scotland, to write, interpret and maintain the Rules of Golf. One of the main purposes is to guard the tradition and integrity of the game. While the game is pure with a simple concept, it is common for rules to spark discussion, inquiry and even debate between the finest gentle people in golf. To help in a golfer’s quest to learn more and understand the rules, the USGA provides some great resources: • Videos on the Rules of Golf. • A fun activity is to take the USGA Rules Quiz. You will learn more about the rules of golf and even learn some things about the rules you might not know.
