NCGA Rules Seminars
The NCGA hosts in-depth training seminars on the Rules of Golf from January through March.
These in-person, two-and-a-half-day training seminars are perfect for tournament managers, officials, and volunteers. The first two days consist of presentations, with an optional exam on the third day.
On-Course Seminars
On-Course Seminars
If you are more of a visual learner, a half-day NCGA On-Course Seminar may be for you. These interactive sessions offer practical demonstrations of the Rules of Golf in action via four distinctive “stations” (Bunkers, Greens, Penalty Areas/OB and Immovable Obstructions). Attendees rotate from station to station throughout the four-hour morning presentation.
