The USGA has created an online rules portal for women’s collegiate golf coaches and their student-athletes. The course is free for each team per school year – the Coach will sign up, and then will have the ability to invite all their players to take the course. The Coach can then check on their players’ progress through the course if they would like to make sure all players complete it. It should provide some assurance to coaches that their players have a solid foundational understanding of the rules of the game, which is especially important when playing competitive golf.
