There are specific Rules relating to the clubs we carry and use when playing.

Some Rules relating to clubs, most will be aware of - the 14-club limit, for example. But there are also some lesser-known Rules governing these vital pieces of equipment.

One such Rule relates to what a player is permitted to do when a club becomes damaged during the round. First, clubs do wear over time via normal use - wear marks on the face or scuffs to the sole, for instance. These are not deemed damage under this Rule. But when a club is damaged, as when Bryson DeChambeau's driver shaft snapped in the 2020 US PGA, the Rules relating to the use, repair or replacement of the club apply.
