Rules of Golf and Amateur Status

The Iowa Golf Association is the authority on the Rules of Golf and Amateur Status in the state of Iowa. If you have a question or need some interpretation on the rules please give us a call or send us an email. You can view our contact information by clicking here.

We also continue to grow our volunteer base of knowledgable rules officials each and every year. We are always on the look out for dedicated, passionate golfers who would like to help out. If you think volunteering at IGA Championships and learning more about the rules is something you might be interested in, please contact us.
