The Rules

All competing Amateurs must agree to use a maximum of 6 golf clubs and the following clubs may be used:

• ANTIQUE HICKORY SHAFTED CLUBS: This category is for equipment whose club heads were made prior to 1935

• MODERN REPRODUCTION HICKORY SHAFTED CLUBS: This category is for equipment made to replicate, as nearly as possible, clubs that were made prior to 1935

• RETRO FITTED CLUBS: This category is for clubs that were made in 1935 or before and at the time of their release were available with both wood and steel shafts. We do allow these pre-1935 wooden club heads to be fitted with period or new hickory shafts ONLY if they were offered with the two differing shaft materials

The World Hickory Open Championship Committee will be the sole judge as to permitted clubs and their decision will be final.


The Original Rules
 
In 1744 the world's first written Rules of Golf were drawn up at Leith in Scotland by the 'Gentleman Golfers', later to become the
Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.
