If there were no limit for number of clubs to carry, how many do you think you would carry? I know I would like about 2 extra clubs than I currently carry, and maybe even 3 (...or 4, or 5....). You can look at my signature to see what I currently carry, but I think I would like to add a 5 wood (about same distance as 2H that I currently carry, but I like it better off fairway than 2H, but 2H better off tee), 5 iron (there is a gap between my 5H and 6I that is about 20 yards, but too much gap between 5I and 4H to eliminate 5H) and another high lofted wedge (62* or higher). If there was no limit I might also think about a really low lofted driver for windy days or when ground is really hard (my current driver flies very high, but I've found most of the time I like that because the ball is less likely to run into trouble).

What do you think? Maybe a petition to USGA to demand the limit be moved to 20.

i think i'd like to carry a few more hybrids, a 5wood, 7wood, and maybe an additional wedge...but that would take all the fun out of the game!

I like the 14 club rule. More clubs mean more choices, and I have a problem with making bad choices as it is.

In my  Warbird Hot stand bag:

 NP2 3H,  DCI 990 4-PW,  Forged + 54/12,  RAC 58/8,

 Classic #1,  NXT Tour or  Burner TP

I would add a 64* wedge, a strong 3 wood, a 2 iron (just for fun), and a 5 or 6 iron hybrid for chipping. Or maybe that Odyssey chipper. I imagine that you would see a lot of creativity in people's bags.

Driver: MP-600 9.5 w/ Fujikura E360 Stiff Shaft

I was just thinking about this yesterday! Honestly, if I could carry any number of clubs it'd go like this...

9ish* driver
12* driver
3,5 & 7 woods
3,4,5 & 6 hybrids
2-pw
52,56,60,64,73* wedges
an Alien wedge just for the sand
a chipper
an Anser style putter
my G5i Craze-E for inside 5 feet

what is that...27 clubs?

Unlimited clubs you say? My bag would look something like this:

47 inch 6* driver
44.5 inch 9.5* driver
3 and 5 woods
2-pw
50,52,54,56,58,60,62, and 64* wedges
putter

Clock system with all them wedges would cover almost every yardage imaginable. It would be a numbers game. No more would I have to deal with that stupid thing called "feel".

Cleveland Hi-bore 9.5* stiff, Taylormade Burner T3 14.5* stiff, Mizuno mp 32 3-PW, Nike SV Tour Black Satin 52, 56, 60* wedges, Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 35 inches
In the market for a new driver, then my bag will be the shiz.

Since I often play with less than 14, I certainly see no need for more than that. I played a round a couple of weeks ago with only 8 clubs and scored right in the middle of my normal range. I do that from time to time just to keep my imagination in good shape. That way when I'm in a situation where I NEED to hit a low 3W from 130 yards to escape the trees, I I know I can do it because I have done it. I learn to use clubs in ways that nobody else I play with does.

The reason that the rule was instituted was because there was a time when some players were carrying more than 30 clubs... That was considered excessive. Since golf is supposed to be a game of skill, it was somehow decided that a 14 club limit ( don't know exactly how that number was arrived at ) would require a player to develop some of those skills, rather than just pull a different club for every possible situation. And let's face it, 14 is more than sufficient. I'd bet that most players can go through their bags and pick at least one club that they only use once every couple of rounds. Instead of going to 15, take that rarely used one out and try the other club that you think might help... you might be right. It may not be a case of needing more clubs, but of simply having the correct mix in the 14 that you do carry.

in 1938 the USGA made that arbitrary decision... Pretty much... yeah... Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 1-9 irons, PW, GW, SW, LW, XW, putter... i think that is nineteen

i think i would carry 15, but not more than that. I might add a strong 3 wod or a gw, but i would not want too many clubs, because i want to keep my distances simple and my options at a reasonable number.

id like 15...

here's my reason...

my 3hybrid an 4hybrid i like in medium to short grass but i hate hitting them off of tree roots and dirt/gravel... id rather have a 3 or 4 iron that i rarely use an wouldnt care beating up to hit from ugly lies...

other than that... i think im fine with 14

I would be well over 16. Although I will agree with some here and say that some skills would be dimishished, especially the 'feel' clubs. And it would make the game a little less challenging since you could have a club for every shot. It would be fun to try though!

Driver - 8.5 and 12 degree
3-wood
5-wood
2 & 3 hybrid
2-PW
50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 degree wedges (talk about filling the gaps)
putter

That is 22. Hopefully I won't have to carry the bag.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

1) 9.5* driver
2) 15* 5 wood
3) 21* hybrid (for rough)
5) 5-9 irons (im a very long hitter)
6) 48, 52, 56, 60, 64 wedges
7) putter (either oddysey or cameron, depending on what felt good)

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
