Volunteers who wish to serve in this capacity must be thoroughly conversant with the rules of golf.  WJGA provides ongoing training programs for all those who wish to becomes rules officials.  And we welcome all those who wish to participate in this way.

However, becoming a rules official entails considerable commitment of time.  It takes several years of training to attain the level of expertise we expect of our rules people.  As well, there is a good deal of travel involved.  We encourage all those who wish to become rules officials to contact us.  But be aware that you are making a substantial commitment.
