PGA Associate PGM Qualifying Level Practice Test

A player is allowed to carry a maximum of 14 clubs during a round of golf according to the Rules of Golf established by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and The R&A. This rule is in place to ensure a level playing field and to maintain the integrity of the game. The limit encourages players to think strategically about their club selections and the combinations they will need for different shots throughout the course.

Having 14 clubs allows for a diverse range of options, enabling players to choose from different types of clubs, such as drivers, irons, wedges, and putters, to handle various situations they may encounter on the course. This flexibility enhances the challenge and skill involved in the game, as players must make thoughtful decisions regarding their club choices. While carrying fewer clubs is allowed, the maximum limit is firmly set at 14 to standardize play across all levels of the game.
