I am confused . How could a golfer need so many clubs ? Seems to me , 14 altogether , right   I should say , a a ' set ' of golf clubs is restricted to no more than 14 clubs .   Then what makes a ' set ' of clubs ?   In general , a set of golf clubs 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , PW ; Woods : 1 , 3 , 5 and a putter .
