Question

What is the maximum number of golf clubs you can carry in your bag?

Answer 1

14 is the max.  In the  British Open in 2001, Ian Woosnam's caddy forgot to remove a driver Woosnam was using on the driving range before his tee off - that 15th club cost Woosnam 2 strokes (penalty for playing with too many clubs) and the caddy his job.

Answer 2

IF YOUR OUT ON THE COURSE WITH FRIENDS AND THERE IS NO MONEY PLAYING CARRY ALL YOU WANT... PLAY THE CLUBS AND FIND THE ONES THAT SUIT YOUR GAME... PICK YOUR FOURTEEN AND PLAY FOR A CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

"HIT 'EM STRAIGHT"

Answer 3

Ian Woosnam DID NOT fire his caddy.  And yes 14 clubs is the limit.  

--He may have fired him later, but didnt for the too many clubs incident--

Answer 4

14

Answer 5

No more than 14 in tournament play.  Recreationally, you can carry as many as your back or cart can handle.

Answer 6

The rules provide for a 14 club limit.

Answer 7

14 is the max for tournament play.  If you are playing a round with friends or practicing, carry as many as you want.  Alot of times if I'm playing to get ready for a competitive round, I'll carry as many as 17 - 18 clubs by adding a 2 iron or some wedges to the bag.  This helps you to practice different shots with different clubs.  Just be sure to count your clubs before you start a competitive round and be sure that you have no more than 14.

Answer 8

At the beginning of golf, it used to be 18. I love it, but now 14.

Answer 9

Like everybody says, 14.

Woosnam did fire his caddie several weeks after The Open, but not for this incident. He was playing another tournament and his caddie missed the tee time.

Answer 10

you can have 14 clubs in the bag at one time.

you can switch clubs in the middle of your round if you have a defective club. a factory defect not damaged during a round.

you can also switch any club after your round.
