According to The Rules of Golf, we are allowed to carry up to a maximum of 14 clubs. So how do you know which 14 clubs are best suited to you? Do you need all 14 clubs, or are there cases why you may actually need more? We hope to shed some light on how to correctly build that “perfect” bag.

What Constitutes a Set?
Nearly 40 years ago, it was commonplace that a male golfer carried a set of four woods (Driver, 3, 4 and 5), nine irons (2-9, PW), specialty SW and a putter. In the decade of the ‘80’s, the 4-wood was dropped in favor of a 7-wood for the average golfer. This era also saw the advent of the 60 degree utility wedge. In the past 5 years, hybrid clubheads have become popular replacements to traditional clubs. In today’s world, golfers are becoming more educated and customizing the clubs they carry in their bag to suit their needs.
