Non-conforming drivers

As from 1st January 2008, a new 'Rules of Golf' will apply to driving clubs. This new rule will apply to all golfers of all abilities and in all forms of play. Most importantly, it is recognised that this Rule will affect the conformance status of many drivers currently in use and, whilst many golfers have already replaced or made plans to replace such clubs with conforming models, some golfers may be unaware of the new Rule and its implications.

The R & A has compiled and published the following lists based on the 2008 Rule:

These can be accessed from The R & A's website (www.randa.org) by following the links to 'Rules', 'Equipment' and 'Driving Clubs'.
