Norton, MA — For the first time in recent memory, the Bay State golf community
will be able to enjoy an inside look at the Rules of Golf!
Each year, the United States Golf Association administers Rules of Golf seminars at sites located across the country. These intensive seminars are
held over a period of several days and are aimed at educating individuals – specifically rules officials and club personnel – on the Rules of Golf and Decisions.
This year, the MGA is bringing that same type of experience to Massachusetts by holding a one-day MGA Rules of Golf Seminar on Saturday, March 27 at Charter Oak Country Club. This seminar will be led by renowned Rules of Golf expert – David Hayes – who is a seven-year veteran of the USGA Rules and Competitions Department.
Hayes will discuss the basic rules procedures and cover several of the new Rules of Golf related issues that have been introduced over the past year.
