Rule of the Month: Clubs

You are allowed to carry up to 14 clubs for play (but you can have fewer). There is no restriction on the type of clubs you carry so long as they conform to the Rules – for instance, you can carry multiple putters, multiple drivers, or some left-handed clubs and some right-handed clubs. If you start a round with 14 clubs, you are generally limited to those clubs for the rest of the round, even if you lose one. But if you break one (other than through abuse), you can continue using that damaged club, replace it, or have it repaired (if possible). If you start a round with fewer than 14 clubs, you can add clubs during the round until you reach 14, but you must not delay play in doing so. When you have a partner, you can share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs between the two of you is no more than 14. For example, if you have 6 clubs and your partner has 8 clubs, the total is 14 and you can share.

You cannot purposely adjust or alter clubs during your round, which includes making changes to adjustable clubs. But if an adjustable club becomes loose during the round, you can repair it by moving it back to the original setting.
