England Golf are pleased to announce the launch of the Club Rules Ambassador programme, aiming to improve the way the Rules of Golf are applied at club level.

For only £50, clubs can put a member of staff or committee forward to attend a seminar, where they will become equipped with the skills and knowledge to:
 

• Deliver Rules sessions for their members.
• Answer Rules queries from members and resolve Rules issues in club competitions.
• Mark the course appropriately.
• Write Local Rules and Terms of the Competition with accuracy.
• Take pace of play management strategies back to their club.
• After the seminar, your club will have access to England Golf’s guidance document on running competitions.

 
To become your club’s England Golf Club Rules Ambassador, the delegate must attend a seminar and pass the online R&A Level 1 Rules Exam (which can be taken an infinite number of times) with 90% or above. The delegate will become part of a community of Club Rules Ambassadors, receiving our guidance document on Rules education and regular updates around the Rules of Golf.

Your selected delegate should be the person most likely to be able to fulfil the roles outlined above – this could be the Club Manager, Competitions Secretary, PGA Professional or any other staff/committee member.
 

Clubs can register a delegate for any of the seminars below – it doesn’t need to be the closest one to you if the date doesn’t work!
