  • Ohio High School Athletic Association
    OHSAA Ohio High School Athletic Association 2016 OHSAA Golf Coaches Guide A Message from OHSAA Golf Administrator: Lauren Prochaska This “Golf Coaches Guide” (formerly referred to as a “Pre-Season Manual”) serves to explain and highlight both the USGA Playing Rules as well as OHSAA Regulations affecting coaches and players. As you will know by reading this, the OHSAA is doing its part to “Go Green” by eliminating the hard copy printing and mailing of this extensive guide and making it available online. It is important that we work together to insure this information is in the hands of ALL coaches – not just head coaches. In essence, this guide is a detailed written version of the rules interpretation meeting. Rules interpretation meetings are now mandatory every year. Beginning in 2016, the rules meeting will be offered online only. The online meeting will replace face to face meetings and become available July 19. Directions and availability are detailed in the early pages of this manual. We hope you’ll encourage your assistant and junior high coaches to view this also. The purpose of the “Rules Interpretation Meetings” is to give EVERYONE a thorough understanding of the interpretations of OHSAA Regulations as well as the changes to the National playing rules written by the USGA. Rules governing OHSAA golf stem from the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the OHSAA. USGA Rules govern all playing rules while OHSAA Sport Regulations govern specific rules to Ohio as well as the various administrative regulations and interpretations. Our elected Board of Directors approve these regulations annually and serve as the basis for ALL schools playing by the same rules.
