Let's say that the USGA came out with a tier system involving Non Conforming Golf Equipment that split into 3 categories:
Tier 1. Conforming clubs as they are now
Tier 2. Non-Conforming clubs aimed at the intermediate golfers such as slightly higher COR drivers, Indi wedges, etc. maybe allowed to carry 15 or more clubs
Tier 3. Non-conforming clubs that stretch the limits even further aimed at beginners or strictly recreational golfers.
To go along with this, let's say that the USGA implements a handicap system that allows you to keep a cap that is adjusted based on the Tier of equipment that you choose to play. And tournaments will be announced that delineate the minimum Tier that is allowed in said tournament beforehand... ideally all tournaments that could potentially lead to qualifying for pro events limit the equipment to Tier 1, and all other semi competitive tourneys Tier 2 or 3.
Would you then game non-conforming equipment if you were able to keep a handicap, and had no intention of trying to qualify for a pro event?
If not, what would it take for you to game non-conforming equipment?
