GUIDANCE IN APPLYING GOLF’S RULES AND POSTING SCORES FOR HANDICAP PURPOSES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

UPDATE: JANUARY 2023


Based on current CDC guidance, the COVID-19 Temporary Rules Guidance is no longer in effect. This means the modifications to the Equipment Rules and the Rules of Handicapping are no longer in effect and golfers should play and post scores accordingly. Golf committees and organizers should likewise conduct events as normal, which will support equity and Handicap Index integrity. Please contact the USGA Rules, Handicapping or Equipment departments with any questions.
