A Short Course On The Rules

“A Short Course on the Rules” is an educational tool that is designed to help both Rules experts as well as those who are just starting out on their journey to learn the Rules. The Short course is offered in annual seasons and takes a deep dive into a specific Rules topic in each “round” of that season. 
 
See below for some highlights of what is offered with each round:
  • Practice Area – Designed for those earlier in their Rules journey of those looking for a refresher, the Practice Area lays out the essentials of the topic being covered in that round. It includes written content, test-your-knowledge questions, and an original, detailed video overview from one of our Rules experts.
  • Quiz – “Play” our 9-hole Rules quiz to test your knowledge and get your name on the leaderboard. 
  • Season Leaderboard – In addition to the leaderboard for each round, there is a cumulative, season-long leaderboard for all of Season 2.
  • Live Round Recap Webinar – A live webinar with USGA Rules Staff recapping the round’s topic, reviewing select quiz questions in detail, and providing you with the opportunity to ask questions in real time.
  • “Thoughts on the Round” – A video recorded by USGA Rules Staff providing detailed insights and explanations of every question from the quiz.

**PLEASE NOTE! The Short Course took place in 2020 and 2021. We have left the content available for the learning opportunities it provides, but it has NOT been updated to account for Rules changes that occurred in the 2023 Rules update and beyond! 

We hope you enjoy the Short Course!
