PDGA Officials Test

[SERG]

I'd like to take the PDGA Officials test. How do I go about doing this? I understand that through the club I can take it for free, right? Would I receive an updated rules book or would I have to purchase one to review before I took the test?

[mirth]

you will get an updated rules book with your 2006 PDGA membership kit. I'll see about getting the updated test for you.

[SERG]

Thanks.

Please keep in mind that you must maintain current PDGA membership status to maintain your Official's status.  Should you allow your membership to lapse, you must retake the exam. 

Would renewing through the club neccesitate me re-taking the exam? I noticed in the Store that it says renewals through the club won't be submitted until after 1/1/07...

[mirth]

i set up the product on the store before i was told the pdga would accept renewals in quantities less than 10. don't worry about your certified official status.

You don't have to renew before 1/1/07 to maintain your PDGA membership status. They give you until Feb 15 or something like that.

[SERG]

Do you get 10 Officials Tests per year or just in total?

[mirth]

[Tom McManus]
