Break the 14-club rule? You get a two-stroke penalty per hole. Max four strokes in a round. That’s like losing a kidney and a spleen.
If you find an extra club mid-round, don’t panic. Simply declare it out of play. Put it in your car or give it to a friend. No drama.
One pro actually forgot he had 15 clubs. He finished the round, counted, and cried. True story.
Smart Ways to Build Your Set
Start with the basics: driver, putter, and a 7-iron. You can play nine holes with just those. It’s minimalist and freeing.
Add clubs slowly. Don’t be a gear junkie. The best players win with fewer options. Look at Bryson DeChambeau—he uses single-length irons. Weird but effective.
