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.
NEW! RULES UPDATES FOR 2023
The USGA and The R&A have unveiled a regular update to the Rules of Golf as they continue to make the Rules easier to understand and apply. The new Rules are in effect starting January 1, 2023.
Online Skills
Mini-Clinics
In partnership with some of the best Northern California PGA professionals, we have created a collection of skills development videos that go above and beyond the quick tips you see on social media.
These video segments are taken from real clinics to help you prepare to go out on the course with confidence.
