Volunteers
Our network of volunteers ensure fair play at tournaments, help golfers keep accurate score, and contribute to growing the game across Colorado.
Develop Your Expertise
Rules officials work at CGA tournaments ensuring fair play and helping competitors navigate rules situations. You'll be trained, certified, and mentored by seasoned volunteers.
Course raters evaluate courses across Colorado, measuring and rating each hole to establish accurate slope and course ratings. After completing USGA training, you'll join rating teams visiting courses statewide.
Recognizing Excellence
CGA honors outstanding volunteers through the James V. Topliff Award given to the Rules Volunteer demonstrating exceptional dedication, the Volunteer of the Year Award recognizing distinguished service, and the Master Rules Official designation, an honorary title for Chief Rules Officials with exemplary dedication.
