On-Course Rules Seminars With new rule changes taking ef- fect at the begin- ning of the year, there’s no better time to brush up on your knowl- edge of the Rules of Golf. The NCGA once again has scheduled four on-course rules seminars for 2012, the fi rst two taking place on back-to-back weeks in June. On Saturday June 2, a seminar will be held at Poppy Ridge in Livermore, and the following Saturday, June 9, a seminar will be held at Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach. Both seminars begin at 7:30 a.m. and conclude at 1:00 p.m.
On-course rules
seminars are a great way to visually learn the Rules of Golf as Director of Education Ryan Gregg and other certifi ed rules offi cials take you through actual rulings that occur on the course. Seminars cost $20 for NCGA tournament offi cials, $30 for NCGA members and $40 for non-NCGA members. The cost includes continental breakfast, lunch and a 2012-2015 Rules of Golf book. Appropriate golf attire is required. To regis- ter go to the NCGA website and under the “Rules” tab click on “Rules Seminars.”
