Using back side of club

[MacDutch]

For instance a putter one side flat like a putter, other side lofted and shaped like a chipper is non conforming.

This is because the putter is limited in the loft it can have, and the chipper (which is just like any other iron as far as the rules are concerned) is limited to only having a single striking face.  Those 2 sided chippers that one sees in many bags are not legal clubs.

Interesting. Would that apply to the putting surface or anywhere through the green?

Anywhere on the course

I'm curious as well, The clubhead is still wider than it is deep.

Oops! Just saw iacas' post.
