    Upholding the Rules of Golf & Amateur Status

An amateur golfer, whether he plays competitively or recreationally, is one who plays golf for the challenge it presents, not as a profession and not for financial gain. By supporting the USGA you can rest assured knowing the rules of golf are enforced, instilling the game’s fundamental values into present and future generations.
