As part of its continuing commitment to provide greater clarity and broader distribution of the Rules of Golf, the United States Golf Association launched an enhanced version of its Rules of Golf mobile application for iOS and Android devices.

 

The application features a smart-search capability that connects users to the Rules information contained in the most recent versions of the Rules of Golf and the Decisions on the Rules of Golf books.

 

Part of the update is a streamlined sharing process for the distribution of Rules and decisions via email. Direct links to www.usga.org have been added for quick access and for sharing with others.

 

Additional features will be added to the app during 2014, including information regarding the Rules of Amateur Status.

 

The Rules of Golf app is free and available for download now via the iTunes Store or Google Play, and more information is available at www.usga.org/mobile. Access to the Decisions On The Rules of Golf is also available free for a limited time and will become an in-app purchase option beginning April 1.
