VGA Rules Quiz

There is probably no such thing as a rules expert given the many varied and complicated rules situations which arise in golf. The goal for all golfers should be to have a general knowledge of the Rules of Golf (particularly the most commonly used Rules) that is supported by a good understanding of how to use the Rules Book to find the answer to the more complicated situations which arise. For those persons who are more heavily involved with golf rules either through Committee duties, Junior co-ordination or Tournament organising, it is important to at least have undertaken a Club Level Rules Accreditation Course and have a sound working knowledge of the Decisions Book.

Since 1990, the Victorian Golf Association has conducted the very popular Club Level Rules of Golf Accreditation Course, whilst since 1993, a State Level Accreditation Course has also taken place.

The Club Level Course consists of a three hour seminar followed by a 50 question multiple choice examination a few weeks later. The State Level Course consists of a one day seminar followed by a one day exam.
