What Did We Learn From the Golf Summit?
The Golf Summit held on December 10, 2015 in the Estrie region of Bromont was the first of its kind and truly allowed the industry’s association members to take the plunge into the future. The Summit’s goal? To improve the image of golf... even if that means transforming it. Read the article published by the QGSA...

Rules According to Edouard | To Be a Rules Official
People often ask me to answer a few questions on the Rules of Golf and Handicap System. When asked "What do you do as a living?", I usually answer "I am a Rules Official in golf!" But what does it mean exactly?
