Policies, Rules and Regulations
New Policy Effective September 8, 2009
The NCGA Foundation has made the difficult decision to suspend the range ball
portion of Youth on Course. Green Fees will still be subsidized. The suspension
for range balls is effective immediately. No decision has been made regarding
the length of the suspension, but it will last at least until the end of 2009.
We understand this decision is sudden but it is a necessary step to preserve the
program and to allow us to continue to support grants, clinics, scholarships and
future programs. In the meantime we have asked all courses to work with us in an
effort to keep range ball prices low for Youth on Course members. Thank you for your
understanding.
