Golf Clubs
Because there were no formal standards,
through the 1930s there was a rich variety of clubs available for
the intrepid golfer. In 1939, to prevent golfers from using
inordinate numbers of clubs and to promote individual skill, the
R&A, the golf's world rules and development body and organizer of
The Open Championship introduced its 14 golf club rule. The modern
convention for numbering woods and irons dates from this period.
Since 1952, the R&A, along with the United States Golf Association,
has jointly issued the Rules of Golf, including design regulations
for golf clubs.
