15 clubs in the bag? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing whether the limit of 14 clubs in the bag ought to be upped to 15. WRXer ‘Hybrid25’ kicks off the conversation, saying
“Why not, you still have to make the shot no matter how many club options you have? What are your thoughts on the subject, and would you like to see the limit go up by one club? More than one club?”
And our members have been having their say in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- LeoLeo99: “14 is fine the way it is. I find the 14 club limit perfect. Makes you think a little in how to strategize your bag and gaps. I could get by with 12.”
- caniac8: “I’d rather go with fewer than more.”
- Strategery: “I absolutely would support 15+. There should be no limit. Good for my enjoyment. Good for the equipment industry. When you think about it, it’s really silly that there is a rule to a *game* which caps your fun.”
- Gohigh: “I’ve carried 15. I’ve carried 16 before. I still only use 10 maybe. If you got the back for it, then go for it I say. Rule should be that if you carry more than 14, you have to walk.”

I personally only carry 12 and get along quite well that way. I think most amateurs would be better off with fewer than 14 as how often in a round do you really hit that 2/3 iron (or utility iron) anyway? Same goes for the short game and amateurs trying to emulate the pros with 4 wedges; just get a PW somewhere on the green and try to save par or bogey instead of trying the hero flop shot with the 60* which is then stubbed 2 feet or skulled all the way across the green?

There should be a limit and there is. Is it the right number? I don’t know how that could possibly be determined.
I carry–and use–14. Sometimes, in practice rounds, I’ll carry an extra club because I’m comparing it to one already in the bag. But I would never post a score, compete in an event, or vie for a wager with that extra club in the bag.
I doubt seriously that most golfers would be adversely affected if the total was lowered. But the USGA and R&A would never do that because manufacturers would howl (and sue). More? No, that would just be a transparent sop to the manufacturers.
Well, maybe a 15th club, but only if it is an “idiot stick,” like a goofy wedge, chipper, or some other product of a late-night infomercial. You know, just to keep things interesting.

I vote for 10, but no more than 12. Most people don’t use the 14 they have.
