Golfers to limit to fourteen clubs starting 1938
The United States Golf Association announced a rule limiting tournament players to no more than 14 clubs beginning January 1, 1938. Prominent players like Jany Fischer and George T. Dunlap weighed in, some arguing the limit is too strict while others support preserving skill over a larger set. The amendment, approved last November, aims to curb mechanization and restore individual shotmaking as clubs proliferate.
