Rules of Golf Education Policy
Atlanta Junior Golf firmly
believes that knowledge of The Rules of Golf is important for
anyone who wishes to play and enjoy the game; most especially junior golfers
who wish to compete at any level.
All Atlanta Junior Golf members are required to complete
and pass an online
Rules Quiz before selecting any tournaments. Online
resources are provided to help guide juniors through the quiz.
This test is designed to establish introductory knowledge of
the Rules and basics of etiquette for juniors and can be
completed before or after attending
the Orientation or Rules Seminar (for those required to attend
- see below).
First year members are required to
attend an
Orientation Seminar during their first year of participation with
Atlanta Junior Golf which will briefly outline organizational policies and procedures,
as well as some etiquette and
basic Rules information. Parents are encouraged, but not required,
to attend this informative 60 minute session.
Second year members are required to
attend one
Rules Seminar
during their second year of participation with
Atlanta Junior Golf which will provide more in-depth coverage of
The
Rules of Golf. This seminar lasts approximately 90 minutes.
A junior golfer who fails to attend a
mandatory Orientation Session or Rules Seminar will be
prohibited from participating in Summer Series events, without
refund of his/her membership fee.
Junior golfers who have attended BOTH
an Orientation Session (during year one) and a Rules Seminar
(during year two) are only required to take an online Rules of
Golf Quiz before they are allowed to register for golf
tournaments each year.
Third-year members (and beyond) are not
required to physically attend an Atlanta Junior Golf Rules
Seminar, but are welcome to attend if they so desire. While
attendance at additional Rules Seminars is not mandatory, it is
certainly encouraged, as The Rules of Golf are complex and
change frequently.

appropriate quiz for your division. A score of 100% is required
before registering for any tournaments; you may use a Rules of
Golf book or other resources to complete the quiz.
