Hogan Apex II 1 Iron Question About Conformity

[VAGolfer]

Would anyone happen to know if this club is conforming? I have the Hogan with the white hogan symbol on the back and love hitting this off the tee. Would this be able to be used in tournaments? i believe it is around a 17 degree loft. It is not listed in the database.

Its quite possible that this club has never been submitted for approval.  Not surprising, from what I can find these were made in the 1970s or 1980s, the manufacturer has no reason to submit 20 or 30 year old models to get them on the list.  They're probably conforming, and you could submit them for testing if you're going to play in a USGA-level event following the instructions here:

For local or regional events, you would be smart to contact the organizing committee in advance.  It would suck to play really well, and then get DQ for having that club in your bag.

Dave, Thank you so much for your response. I would just be playing in a couple VSGA one day events next year( I have never played sanctioned tournament golf before) so i will reach out to them and see what they say. again, thank you for your response!
