Revised
Decision 4-4c/1 [Excess
Club Declared Out of Play
Before Round] points out
that, in these particular
circumstances, (i.e., the
discovery was made shortly
before the round, the player
had 15 clubs, having the extra
club was inadvertent, and the
player declared one of the
clubs out of play), Nick is not
considered to be carrying the
extra club, even though it is
physically in his possession in
the golf cart.

New Rule
14-1b [Anchoring the Club]
states, “In making a stroke,
the player must not anchor the
club, either “directly” or by
use of an “anchor point.” In
stroke play, the penalty for
breaching this Rule is two
strokes. Note 1 to this Rule
indicates that holding a club
against one’s hand or forearm
is permissible. New Decision
14-1b/3 [Explanation of
“Forearm” in Relation to
Rule 14-1b] advises that,
for purposes of Rule 14-1b,
“forearm” is the part of the
arm below the elbow joint
and includes the wrist.
