Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	The USGA Museum collection includes graphics, books and golf memorabilia. The collection is held for public exhibition, education and research. No value is assigned to the collection in the statements of financial position.
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The USGA Museum maintains the world's largest and most complete collection of golf history. By collecting, preserving, and interpreting the historical developments of the game in the United States, with an emphasis on the USGA and its championships, the museum promotes a greater understanding of golf's cultural significance for a worldwide audience. The museum sponsors a rich array of programs designed to educate and inspire the public about the history of golf and the USGA's role in the game's development. The museum offers a wide variety of programming to suit audiences of all ages. Artifacts from the collection travel across the country, as well as internationally, to USGA championship sites, member clubs, and national and local museums and libraries. A comprehensive online portal enables photos, videos and other historical content to be shared with a worldwide audience.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The USGA is exempt from Federal and state income taxes under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), except for any income derived from unrelated business activities. Taxes of $2,044 and $291,710 were paid on unrelated business income in 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, the USGA has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The USGA has filed for and received income tax exemptions as well as IRS forms 990 and 990-T in the jurisdictions where they are required to do so. For the years ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no interest or penalties incurred. As of November 30, 2017, the USGA believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the fiscal years prior to 2014. The USGA is required to recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The USGA believes it has not taken any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recorded any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule I, Part I, Line 2	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The USGA provides grants to programs that support juniors and golfers with disabilities throughout the United States. The USGA provides grants to state and regional golf associations to finance paid internships for those who are pursuing a career in golf administration. The USGA provides grants to colleges and universities to finance turfgrass research and environmental research that may benefit golf courses particularly in reducing critical resource consumption such as water and managing costs related to labor and turf maintenance. In all cases, staff members monitor the use of funds to ensure that the grants are spent for the proper purposes and are not otherwise diverted from intended use. In some cases, a thorough application must be submitted in order to receive consideration for funding. Monitoring normally includes formal periodic reports from the recipient organization, detailing program progress and use of funds. Monitoring can also include informal reports, depending on the nature of the grant and the organization it was distributed to. For example, grants distributed to programs for juniors and golfers with disabilities typically require the recipient organization to complete a formal assessment report that includes information about program outcomes, financial compliance, participant statistics, program schedule, instruction provided, and follow-up support. Such information is subject to audit, at the USGA's sole discretion. In all cases, unspent funds must be returned to the USGA. Grants to state and regional associations for golf administration internships typically require the recipient organization to complete a report describing the internship activities and accomplishments, and account for all internship salary payments. Additionally, the intern is required to complete an evaluation on the internship responsibilities and confirm the duration of their employment. Again, unspent funds must be returned to the USGA. Grants to colleges and universities for turfgrass and environmental research typically require the recipient organization to complete a report describing in detail the results of the research, and account for all funds spent. Unspent funds must be returned to the USGA.	ExplanationTxt

While application for membership is open to any golf club, golf course or golf training facility, as specified and defined in the USGA By-Laws, voting privileges are limited to member clubs. Voting privileges do not extend to member courses or to member golf training facilities. Membership applications are reviewed and subject to approval or rejection at the discretion of the Executive Committee. Membership is automatically continuous unless interrupted by written resignation or expulsion in accordance with the USGA By-Laws. Acceptance of membership binds each member to uphold all provisions of the USGA's Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and other rules, to accept and enforce all rules and decisions of the Executive Committee acting within its jurisdiction, and to otherwise conduct itself in a manner that furthers the interests of the USGA to promote the best interests and true spirit of the game of golf. (The USGA is organized and exists under the Non-Profit Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware. The USGA is a non-stock entity.)
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a	The Executive Committee is the governing body of the USGA. The Executive Committee consists of fifteen voting members, including the five officers.

After appropriate staff and the USGA's audit firm, BDO USA, has thoroughly reviewed the Federal Form 990 and deemed it to be accurate and complete, the Federal Form 990 is reviewed with the Executive Director and CEO and the Audit Committee. Before the Federal Form 990 is signed by an officer and submitted to the IRS, a full copy of the document, including all attachments, is provided to each voting member of the Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	The USGA requires Executive Committee members and USGA employees to administer their affairs honestly and efficiently, exercising due care, skill and judgment for the benefit of the USGA. It is the responsibility of Executive Committee members and USGA employees to make a full disclosure of any personal involvement which might result in a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest on their part. Such disclosures are submitted to the Audit Committee and/or the Chief Legal Officer for review and consideration as per stated procedures. Additionally, once a year, the USGA requires Executive Committee members and USGA employees to review the USGA's conflict of interest policy and submit a statement attesting to their understanding of and compliance with the policy. Any conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest must be included on the submitted statement. The Audit Committee reviews the statements and makes and necessary decisions to manage and/or eliminate the conflicts.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	On a periodic basis, the USGA does a thorough review of compensation for the Executive Director/CEO and the executive team.

The survey and data are carefully considered by the USGA's Compensation Committee to ensure that compensation is reasonable and appropriate.

This report would have been used to make compensation decisions for USGA executives for calendar (and fiscal) year 2016. Substantiation of the deliberation and decision of the compensation committee is maintained in the meeting minutes. In addition, employees of the USGA undergo a thorough evaluation process each year. Performance and goals are carefully reviewed and documented, then discussed with the employee. Merit increases and bonus awards are determined based on these evaluations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 16b	The USGA does not currently have any joint ventures, but maintains a joint ventures policy to ensure that all arrangements are consistent with the organization's tax exempt status under IRC Section 501(c)(3). Specifically, the purpose of the policy is to set forth guidelines to help ensure that arrangements with for-profit entities will not jeopardize the USGA's tax exempt status.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	The USGA's most recent Form 990 and audited financial statements are viewable by the public, as well as the association's annual impact report, on usga.org each year.
