Hi all,

Well I was wondering if anyone could help me understand about conforming and non corming drivers and how it would effect my game in the UK.
The reason I am asking is that I have entered a club comp and the driver in my bag is a Taylor Made 540xd 10.5 deg loft which is non conforming according to the USGA. Can I still use it in the UK for comps or will I be disqualified for it?

Cheers
Mark

Head to the R&A List of Conforming drivers.

Look for the R540XD, view the photo, and compare it to you driver.

It looks like the above model of 540 is conforming, if I read that right.
