Q: Does your driver conform to the January 2008 rules?

From 1st January 2008, all drivers must conform to the provisions as set out in Appendix ll, 5c of the Rules of Golf:
"Spring Effect and Dynamic Properties"

Q1: Where can I find out if my driver will conform after 1 January 2008?
A1: The R&A has compiled and published the following lists based on the 2008 Rules:

Click here to search List of Non-Conforming Driver Heads

The 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 in use and, whilst many golfers have already replaced or made plans to replace such clubs with conforming models, some golfers, it would seem, are still unaware of the new Rule and its implications.

Q2: Will the new Rule on drivers be applicable to amateur, Club level golfers?
A2: Yes. The new Rule will apply to all golfers, of all abilities, in all forms of play. This includes Club level golfers playing in their Club competitions and medals.
