Hi,

is there any ruling that covers training aids like the Tour Strikers? I do use two of them regulary and keep them in my bag all the time. As my set of clubs is growing, I am facing an issue now: With both tour strikers in bag, I would have 15 clubs with me.

The question is: Are they consideres training aids (like alignment sticks or those swinging assist clubs that collapse if you are not on plane) and do not count into the 14 club limitation or are they considered clubs and I would break this rule if I keep the tour strikers in my bag during a round?

That should answer your question.  They are aparently not legal for play.

Thanks for the answer. That means running back to the car after a warmup with the tour striker before a tournament to remove them from the bag. Too bad.

    • This topic can be whatever you'd like it to be. If you're working with an instructor, you may have to mention it occasionally, but people will respect that and you can use this as a diary of sorts.
    • Look at Kevin trying to rationalize his small minority vote. 😄 
    • It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion.   The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough.  Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for.
    • Day 137 & 138- Forgot to post yesterday but same thing. Slow,  short swings with short practice club. 
    • I actually did post a video of my swing today. Those are total distances from my Garmin watch. I don't have as good of an idea with my carry distances. I should go to a range with Trackman some day and get them recorded.
