Joint Initiative

Collaborative efforts between golf's governing bodies (USGA, R&A) and other organizations to address common challenges, develop unified policies, or advance the game's interests globally. Joint initiatives help ensure consistency in rules, equipment standards, and golf development worldwide. These collaborations address issues like pace of play, environmental sustainability, and game accessibility. Understanding joint initiatives helps golfers appreciate the coordination required to govern and grow golf globally. Recent joint initiatives have focused on rules modernization, equipment regulations, and promoting golf participation.
