According to The Rules of Golf, a player is allowed up to 14 clubs in their golf bag during a round. But you do not have to carry all of these. For those new to the game, you may find it most helpful to have a driver, a fairway wood, irons 6-9, PW, SW and a putter. Golf package sets, available now at GolfOnline, are a great option for beginners looking to purchase everything they need for a round, including a golf bag.
