The Rules of Golf
We are at an exciting time for Rules of Golf enthusiasts and an important time for all golfers. The R&A and USGA have announced a major set of changes to the Rules of Golf that will go into effect January 1, 2019. Ever since the first known written Rules of Golf in 1744, continuous revision and updating of the Rules has been one of the enduring traditions in golf. Fundamental reviews led to the first consolidated Rules code in 1899, a major Rules revision in 1934, the first unified R&A/USGA Rules code in 1952, and a full reorganization of the Rules in 1984. Each fundamental review had its own motivations and goals, but the common thread was that the time had come for a major review and revision of the Rules. This is such a time and the NJSGA is here to help you through the changes.
