Ask Linda 1949-Shorten shafts

Good morning Linda,
Is it legal to shorten the shaft length of my irons?  In other words, can I make my 3-5 irons the same length as my 6-iron?
Regards,
Lou from South Africa

Dear Lou,

Your clubs must conform to the Equipment Rules. The overall length of any club must be at least 18 inches and no more than 48 inches (except putters) [Equipment Rules, Part 2, Section c]. There is no Rule that requires different clubs to have shafts of different lengths. Any or all of your clubs may have shafts of the same length.

Linda
