I just finished Herbert Warren Wind's "Following Through." One of the stories describes an event in England or Scotland (I forget which) where the contestants are limited to 7 clubs. The players, national quality amateurs, posted some pretty good scores on a well-known course (although, in another early sign of dementia, I can't remember which one).
In any case, do any of you out there participate in or know of events where the contestants are allowed fewer than the normal allotment of 14 clubs? Sounds like it would be fun.
