Volunteers
Report
Resources to help you sharpen your skills as a rules official and to assist you in preparing an event. No, in fact almost every one of our volunteers started out the same way. They joined us at one of the association activities and shadowed one of our volunteers. You will pick up on the process pretty quick.
WHS Hub
Report
Beginning in early 2020, the USGA and the R&A implemented major changes to the fabric of our handicap system. This revamped World Handicap System aims to bring the game of golf under a single set of handicapping rules and provide a more consistent measure of players' ability between different regions of the world.

Report
An "amateur golfer" is defined as one who plays the game as a non-remunerative and non-profit-making sport and who does not receive remuneration for teaching golf or for other activities because of golf skill or reputation, except as provided in the rules. Amateur status is lost whenever a player conducts or identifies himself as a professional golfer.

It's what we do best. We've had a long history of running high-caliber, competitive amateur championships throughout the region of New Mexico and West Texas that draw the cream of the crop golfers from all over. Our championships have divisions and net events making them open to a variety of skill levels.
