GOLF'S RULES HAVE CHANGED
 
Join Us for a 2019 RDGA
RULES OF GOLF SEMINAR
AND SEE WHAT'S NEW!
     
 
There are many new aspects to the NEW Rules of Golf that YOU , as a golfer, SHOULD know before you set foot on a golf course this season!
 
To help you learn the new Rules , know the changes to the old Rules - and the differences between the two - the RDGA is offering FIVE public Rules of Golf Seminars , to be held EACH Saturday during the month of March . These seminars will be led by our own expert Rules officials and will include open seminars for all golfers, as well as regional seminars for Member Clubs.
 
If you are an RDGA Member (or a member of an RDGA Member Club) - you can sign up for one of these seminars FREE OF CHARGE! Each seminar is scheduled for a location nearest your club - simply look for your club listed among those to be hosted by each seminar below, then register for that Seminar.
  
If you are NOT an RDGA Member (or not a member of an RDGA Member Club ) - or if you are a member of a non-real estate, or "Type 3" Club - we will be hosting one seminar that is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC for a nominal $10 fee.
 
Find the RDGA Rules of Golf Seminar that is right for you, then click on the link below to register - but do so soon, as registration closes ONE WEEK prior to each seminar .
