Rules of Golf
The USGA, in conjunction with the R&A in
St. Andrews, Scotland, writes, interprets and maintains the Rules of
Golf to guard the tradition and integrity of the game.
The two organizations are joint authors and
owners of The Rules of Golf and Decisions on the Rules of Golf. Through
an agreement with the R&A, the Rules jurisdiction of the USGA
includes only the United States, its possessions and Mexico. The
latest version went into effect Jan. 1, 2004, with the next revision
taking effect Jan. 1, 2008.
