RULES 101 - BASIC RULES OF GOLF |
|
Welcome to Rules 101! Upon completion of this free, online course, you will have a very solid foundational knowledge of the rules and will be equipped to navigate the majority of rules situations you might encounter during a round of golf. Rules 101 focuses on the playing rules, especially those used or encountered most frequently by golfers.
This online course is appropriate for anyone new to the game or to the rules, but also for nearly anyone who does not already have advanced knowledge of the rules.
To access this online course, you will be prompted to create a free account (or login to an existing account in our system). This is required to capture and store your progress through the course.
If you have any questions or any difficulties with this course, please feel free to reach out to the USGA Rules Department at rules@usga.org or 908-326-1850. Happy learning!
