VSGA member clubs interested in a Rules of Golf presentation at their club are encouraged to contact the VSGA. VSGA-MAPGA Rules of Golf presentations are conducted annually throughout the commonwealth by VSGA and national rules officials, providing in-depth study for a nominal fee.

A short rules program for club functions is also offered. These informative, interactive and engaging presentations are approximately 90 minutes in length and involve a presentation followed by questions and answers. Contact Ryan Dunham at the VSGA at (804) 378-2300, ext. 24 for additional information. Additionally, experts are available to answer rules disputes that may arise as well as giving advice.

The Rules Of Golf
The USGA, in conjunction with The R&A in St. Andrews, Scotland, writes, interprets and maintains the Rules of Golf to guard the tradition and integrity of the game. The two organizations are joint authors and owners of The Rules of Golf and Decisions on the Rules of Golf. Through an agreement with The R&A, the Rules jurisdiction of the USGA includes only the United States, its possessions and Mexico. The latest version went into effect Jan. 1, 2008, with the next revision taking effect Jan. 1, 2012.
