One more way to really get you up to speed – take a quiz and see how well you really know the new rules.
USGA has just that, a really cool interactive quiz package. They propose a situation and a few alternatives. You select. the correct response. They give you feedback. And let you retest.

If you attended the General Meeting you participated in a Rules 2019 presentation that the Rules Committee lead by Gary Brown put together. You have been exposed to most of what you need to know for the big rule issues.
Our survey showed that most of you think you know and follow the “rules” already, but we all know that there are a lot of differences in interpretations. Opinions vary.
We have now loaded the presentation onto the website. Now all can see in your own time.
Remember – we used USGA as our Rules Foundation. Our few exceptions to USGA are there to keep pace of play at target and to better fit the game to seniors capabilities.
Knowing and using the rules properly can help you manage abnormal situations or really bad shots better and perhaps with fewer strokes. Really knowing the rules helps you play smarter golf!
