NCGA’s Relationship to the USGA
The United States Golf Association (USGA) is the governing body of golf in the U.S. but relies on Allied Golf Associations (AGAs) to take care of golf business in their respective regions.
As one of many AGAs, the NCGA administers Rules, handicaps and championships for members and clubs in Northern California.
