MGA Two-Day Rules & Officiating Workshop - Day 2



Day 2 has brought another perfect day - for being outside and playing golf. The forecast for sun and 70* will make staying inside to study the Rules that much more difficult, especially in light of the late start of the golf season in Minnesota. We all would much rather be outside playing golf (and applying our rules knowledge)!

The outdoor session yesterday gave all of our attendees the opportunity to "see" many of the different rules we have been, and will be, discussing. The two pictures above show both David and me "in action." The students have been great - asking pertinent questions, giving correct rulings, and showing tremendous interest.

This workshop is almost the end for "Rules Workshop Season." I have only one left - our workshop "The Rules of Golf for Tournament Players." By the time I finish, I will have conducted 14 different workshops for over 500 people.

The "Players" workshop is set for next Thursday, May 1, at Edina CC. It is designed to teach the most commonly used rules in a "player-friendly" manner to tournament players. It should be an entertaining evening for all. There is still space available if you want to join in the fun! Visit the MGA web site for more details.

Next on my schedule - Tournament Season............

Until next time -
