14 Club limit?

Question

Does that count your putter or can you have 14 clubs and a putter?

Answer 1

The rules only specify that 14 clubs are the maximum.  It says nothing about what those clubs have to be -- except conforming to the USGA in their designs.  It is perfectly legal within the rules to carry 14 putters, or 14 wedges, or 14 drivers.  Though that would make the game much more difficult.  However, it has happened once in a while that a tour player will use two different putters or use two different drivers during a round -- again, it only the number of clubs is regulated, not the kind.  And, yes, a putter is a golf club.

Answer 2

Maximum 14 clubs under USGA rule 4-4 under "Clubs". The player can have any type of clubs in the bag but no to exceed 14 clubs. The penalty vary based on type of match played

Penalty For Breach Of Rule 4-4a or b, Regardless Of Number Of Excess Clubs Carried:

Match play - At the conclusion of the hole at which the breach is discovered, the state of the match is adjusted by deducting one hole for each hole at which a breach occurred; maximum deduction per round: Two holes.

Stroke play - Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred; maximum penalty per round: Four strokes.

Bogey and par competitions - See Note 1 to Rule 32-1a.

Stableford competitions - See Note 1 to Rule 32-1b.
