Why 14 clubs in your golf bag? 🤔 Let’s dig into the backstory!
Spot Sports video
The 14-club limit was officially adopted by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in 1938, with the R&A following shortly after in 1939, aimed at protecting caddies and limiting the "de-skilling" of the game caused by an excessive number of specialized clubs. The specific number 14 reflected the common, matching sets of the era.
