RDGA TO ANNOUNCE EXTENSIVE
RULES EDUCATION SCHEDULE
FOR MEMBER CLUBS AND GOLFERS
SEMINARS FOCUSING ON
NEW RULES OF GOLF FOR 2019
SET TO BEGIN IN MARCH
The RDGA has hosted many RDGA Rules of Golf seminars in past years - including this one at the Country Club of Rochester in 2017. With major changes to the Rules set to take effect as of January 1, the RDGA will again be offering many opportunities for local golfers to attend seminars focusing on the 2019 Rules of Golf changes, beginning in March.
One of the most important jobs the
RDGA
will be undertaking in
2019
is preparing and educating our
Member Clubs
and
Golfers
for the upcoming changes to the
Rules of Golf
.
The RDGA is finalizing extensive plans in this area, and will include open seminars for all golfers, regional seminars for clubs and offering individual private seminars for clubs.
We will announce the Rules Education offerings the first week of
January, 2019
in emails to our Member Clubs, and in our Handicap Revision eNewsletter to all Member Golfers January 15, 2019. Stay tuned!

The
2018
season was a busy one for the Rochester District Golf Association with several familiar champions being crowned, along with many activities, both near and far.
From Chris Blyth's memorable playoff victory in the 2018 RDGA District Championship John H. Ryan Jr. Memorial at Monroe Golf Club, to Jim Scorse's victories in the RDGA Match Play Championship (his 10th) and RDGA Mid Amateur Championship (his eighth); and Jenna Hoecker's third RDGA Women's Championship title to Steve Puccia winning the District Senior Championship - and Scorse earning his unprecedented 15th RDGA Player of the Year Award, the 2018 RDGA Championship season was both busy and memorable one.
As we look ahead to the 2019 season, join us for a look back at the season that was in 2018...
