Golf Rules Reviews by the WWGA Golf Rules Maven

​

Welcome to a series of newsletters to the WWGA on the Rules of Golf. 

​

In 2019, we saw major exciting and welcomed changes to the Rules of Golf. The changes were jointly written and administered by USGA and the R&A (which covers the rules outside the US) and adopted around the world.   In 2020, the major change that was implemented was a complete re-vamp of the Handicap System by the USGA and the R&A. They took the best of 6 systems used around the world and merged them into one system. The first document below, "World Handicap System Overview" is a brief overview. Subsequent issues will focus on more specific topics.

​

If there is a specific rules topic you would like covered, please send an email to  wwgagolfmaven@gmail.com

​

Many thanks and hit 'em long and straight!
