Yes, Rule 4-4.b "[color=#7F7F7F][url="http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=14253#Partner"][i]Partners[/i][/url] may share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs carried by the [url="http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=14253#Partner"][i]Partners[/i][/url] so sharing does not exceed 14."[/color]

How about if they each have 14 clubs and a really big bag?

Q. In a foursome competition, is it permissible for partners to put both sets of clubs in one golf bag, provided each player uses only his own clubs?

A. Yes, provided each player's clubs are clearly identifiable.

Important to differentiate between the meaning of "partners" and "fellow competitors."

Unrelated to how it is viewed by the rules of golf, many courses frown on multiple players playing out of a single bag.

please don't do this! pace of play will grind to a halt.

Nice find. I knew the rule regarding sharing clubs, but I'd never seen this decision about separate sets in the same bag.

Thanks JJJ !

I'm still not certain about something though, the decision says "[b]In a foursome competition[/b]."

I'm not positive I could apply this decision to a [b]Four Ball[/b] competition as well, but assume it would still apply???

I can't see any thing that says [b]any[/b] player may not carry [b]any [/b]other player's clubs. I am puzzled as to why the decision is so specific. I must be missing something.

[Judge440]

I'm confused.

I'm saying what if me and my buddy go out...playing against each other.

Can we 'share' one set of clubs in one bag? Say they are his clubs. Can I use them?

You may not borrow any club selected for play by any other person playing on the [url="http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=14253#Course"][i]course[/i][/url] except that [url="http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=14253#Partner"][i]Partners[/i][/url] may share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs carried by the [url="http://www.usga.org/workarea/linkit.aspx?linkidentifier=id&itemid=14253#Partner"][i]Partners[/i][/url] so sharing does not exceed 14

However the question is 'May 2 players carry 2 sets of clubs in one bag?'.

Dec 19-2/5 implies that players may share a bag.

Probably because it really only makes sense in a foursome competition.

Possibly how the rules makers saw it. It also makes sense in four ball with partners sharing a cart...

I now find that the original decision, going back many years, was as a result of a specific incidence relating to a foursomes competition.

True because only one ball is played per side.

Second rules post where I have learnt something today. I think I need to go and have a good read, its been a while.

Makes me chuckle thinking of an incident in South Africa, two old fellahs sharing one caddy and making him carry two bags, 40* C temp, brutal!!

[jaycajun]

Ha, the bag will look like my father in law's bag. He has about 8 clubs with covers (driver, FW, hybrids) and an ton of other clubs. I counted them and came up with 23 clubs. Unbelievable.... It takes him about two minutes to find the club he wants, then about a minute to wrestle the club out of the bag, then even longer to jam it back in the bag.
