Linda,
Does a ball retriever used to fish out balls count as a
club?
Lou from Bridgend, Wales
Dear Lou,
No.
Ball retrievers (and umbrellas) are not golf clubs. They do
not fit the description of a club in Appendix II (i.e., they are not designed
to hit a ball; they do not have a shaft and a clubhead). As such, they are not
counted as clubs with regard to Rule 4-4, and they may be carried in addition
to the maximum 14 clubs the player is permitted to carry in a stipulated round.
