Schedule D, Part III, Line 1	The USGA Museum collection includes works of art, library materials, photographic images, film and video, and artifacts of historical and cultural significance. 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 A comprehensive website enables photos, videos and other historical content to be shared with a worldwide audience.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	In 2011, the USGA Foundation ceased to exist. Remaining assets and liabilities of the USGA Foundation were accepted by the USGA. Included in the assets and liabilities were two permanent endowment funds that had been created as a result of donations received in the 1980's. The first endowment is to fund junior golf programs and is the result of a $20,000 donation. The donor specified that only earned income should be used. The USGA will comply with this restriction by using all earned income to fund junior golf programs in the year the income is earned. The second endowment is to fund turf research and is the result of a $30,197 donation. The donor specified that only earned income should be used. The USGA will comply with this restriction by using all earned income to fund turf research in the year the income is earned.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	The USGA is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except for any income derived from unrelated business activities. Tax of $235,303 and $117,509 were paid on unrelated business income in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The USGA filed the IRS Federal Form 990 and 990-T, as well as other forms required in various jurisdictions. The USGA adopted FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes", as of December 1, 2009. Under ASC 740, an organization must recognize a liability for an uncertain tax position when it becomes more likely than not that the position will not be sustained. The USGA believes there are no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, has not recognized any liability for uncertain tax positions.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d	$10,329,335 is cost of goods sold, as per Part VIII, line 10b. On the audited financial statements these expenses are program service expenses. $3,390 is loss on sale of company car.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b	Investment income of $16,501,927, as per Part VII, Line 3. And realized gains on sales of investments of $554,307 as per Part VIII, Line 7c(i). On the audited financial statements, these revenues are netted against unrealized gains (losses) and investment management fees. On the audited financial statements, the net figure is recorded as an increase or (decrease) in net assets.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2d	$10,329,335 is cost of goods sold, as per Part VIII, line 10b. On the audited financial statements these expenses are program service expenses. $3,390 is loss on sale of company car.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4b	Investment fees of $902,572. On the audited financial statements, the net figure is recorded as an increase or (decrease) in net assets.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 2

The USGA provides very few grants to organizations outside the United States. Such grants are approved by the Executive Committee, and/or sub-committee. Staff monitors the use of the funds to ensure that the grants are spent for proper purposes and are not otherwise diverted from intended use. Monitoring may include formal periodic reports from the organization or informal reports, depending on the nature of the grant and the organization it was distributed to.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 3

In addition to the activities listed, the USGA owns shares of investment funds in the Cayman Islands and in the British Virgin Islands. Federal Form TD F 90-22.1 has been filed to report balances in these investment accounts. Also, Federal Form 8865 has been filed to report any current distributions to these investment accounts.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule I, Part I, Line 2	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The USGA provides grants to junior golf programs located throughout the United States, as well as to programs to assist physically challenged golfers. The USGA provides grants to state and regional associations to finance golf administration internships. The USGA provides grants to colleges and universities to finance turfgrass research and environmental research that may benefit golf courses. 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. 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 to junior golf programs 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 their 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 research 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

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6	The USGA is an association of member clubs and courses. 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 USGA By-Laws. Acceptance of membership binds each member to uphold all provisions of the USGA's Certificate of Incorporation, and 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. Each member of the Executive Committee is elected at the annual meeting of the USGA and holds office until the annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her resignation or removal.

After appropriate staff has thoroughly reviewed the Federal Form 990 and deemed it to be accurate and complete, a copy of the Federal Form 990 is provided to the Executive Director and to all Executive Committee members (all voting Board members) for their review. After the Federal Form 990 is reviewed by all Executive Committee members, it is signed by an officer and submitted to the IRS.
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.

The Audit Committee reviews the statements and makes any 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 and the executive team.

An external consultant prepared an "Executive Cash Compensation Update" (Intermediate Sanctions) report dated November 9, 2012. This report is used to make compensation decisions for USGA executives. 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 at the end of 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. See Schedule J, Part III response to Schedule J, Part I, Line 5 for detail.
