R&A Conforming Equipment

 

From 1 January 2008, a Rule of Golf will be introduced limiting the ’spring-like’ effect of driving clubs for all golfers of all ability. The introduction of this Rule was announced in August 2002 and it has been applied at the elite level, via a Condition of Competition, since 1 January 2003.
This ‘new’ Rule will affect the conformance status of some drivers currently in the marketplace and in players’ bags. ACGA members are, therefore, encouraged to check their own driver, and any driver they may buy in the future, in preparation for 2008. Failure to comply WILL result in instant disqualification at ACGA events for 2008.
To help provide correct information on driver head conformance, two Lists have been compiled and published:
