No worry. I can't use the ones I have.

With 6" holes, gimmes, mulligans, etc. let's just change the rules to where you just write down the score you wish you had on each hole, compare cards, settle best and adjourn to the bar! Think of the time and expense you will save.

OR...play the game by the rules!!

I never heard of this bogus "GHA", but they have absolutely no authority to make or change the rules of golf. From their own website:

GHA’s new rule changes are sure to either be loved or hated by golfers and tournament organizations worldwide. These are not your normal small incremental changes. These changes fundamentally change the way the game is played in many aspects.

From increasing the maximum number of clubs golfers can carry from 14 to 18 clubs, eliminating 2 stroke out of bounds, preferred lies in the fairway (no more divots!), lift rake and place in bunkers, 3 putts max, no limit on driver COR, MOI, increasing max driver cc’s from 460 to 600cc’s, free relief from roots and rocks, no groove restrictions, allowing alignment sticks, any type of green reading material, elevation and information processing devices and making golf carts legal for tournament play, these changes are sure to turn explode head

This must be some kind of practical joke or deranged trolling. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!!!
If you are playing any kind of tournament under USGA rules, don't even think about employing the utter garbage lasted above.

Too late. Majority of TV golfers already play by these rules.

The reason for the club rule was because of the caddies. In the early 1900's caddies were carrying 26+ clubs, and having a hard time doing so.. Thus the 14 club rule. What real difference does it make? Most people can't use one!

Love to see this one at one of our hickory shaft tournaments with the 7 club limit.

This is a troll or a joke -right???

Does have a certain symmetry 18 holes 18 clubs.

However what happens if you get made at a club and throw it in a lake to be eaten by gators?

Under USGA rules (the only rules), you're out 1 club for the rest of the round.

Under bogus "GHA" rules (which mean nothing), you probably get to replace it with 3 more clubs and get 2 shots of your choosing hit by a PGA pro

If that is two shots at each hole I might be able to finally reach par.

Does this mean the huge holes at Sarasota are legal now?

They may be. Take the turnpike to 429, head south to Western Way, enter the Disney grounds and follow the signs to Fantasyland.
