Allied Golf Association (AGA)

AGAs, in collaboration with the USGA, provide many services and support for players, golf clubs, and other stakeholders in their territories. This includes:

• Handicap administration in support of the World Handicap System,
• Ensuring completion of the club authorization assessment,
• Providing educational opportunities to meet club authorization requirements,
• Providing oversight of the USGA/AGA GC,
• Providing Course Rating services,
• Administering the Rules of Golf and the Rules of Amateur Status,
• Recruiting and training volunteers,
• Conducting AGA championships and USGA Championship qualifiers, and
• Developing community initiatives and promoting those community initiatives.

The AGA is the body under which your golf club sits and should be consulted as needed for guidance.
