New Golf Rule Set To Limit Clubs In 1938
The United States Golf Association announced a limit of 14 clubs per player effective January 1 1938, replacing the practice of carrying large sets. Prominent golfers Johnny Fischer and George T Dunlap Jr weighed in on the change, with Fischer condemning excess clubs and Dunlap calling 14 a bit severe. The amendment to the preamble of the rules aims to restore individual shotmaking amid a trend toward mechanization.
