Tiger Woods and 14-year-old Charlie Woods are playing the PNC Championship for the fourth straight year.

Almost every golf shot you hit throughout a round could be different from the last. A different lie, a random gust of wind, in the thick stuff, in the fairway—we could go on and on. While it would be a delight to have a club for every one of these unique situations, there are limitations.

How Many Clubs Can You Carry?

In order to even the playing field, the USGA has stepped in and capped the number of clubs you can carry at 14. This is outlined in Rule 4 of the 2023 USGA Rules of Golf, titled “The Player’s Equipment.” The rulebook states: 

You must not start a round with more than 14 clubs or have more than 14 clubs during the round. 

If you start a round with fewer than 14 clubs, you may add clubs during the round up to the 14-club limit.

When you become aware that you are in breach of this Rule by having more than 14 clubs, you must immediately take the excess club or clubs out of play, using the procedure in Rule 4.1c.

Yeah. This is not a match made in Heaven.

The Requisite Background

For a long time, I was a high-flight, high-spin player with every club in the bag. Envious of those able to flight the ball with a piercing trajectory, I worked to bring my ball flight down.

Somewhere along the way, I over-corrected … apparently.

Bettinardi is updating their BB line for 2024 with seven new and classic models.This is the first putter line to feature Bettinardi’s new Perpetual Flymill face milling.Each model is milled in the USA from 303 stainless steel. Available for pre-order Nov. 21 with a MSRP of $450.

Death, taxes and Bettinardi sticking to their two-year putter release cycles are the only things we can really count on in these ever-changing times. Now that two years have passed since Bettinardi updated their BB putter line, the 2024 models are hitting shops soon.

Putter collectors and Bettinardi fans know the biennial update is coming but we never really know what to expect. The BB putter line may be Bettinardi’s most foundational line of putters but history shows they are not afraid to tweak the recipe when a new update launches.

For example, check out the 2014 and 2016 BB-1 putters above. While this refresh did feature a neon green cosmetic shift, it also involved a fairly significant neck alteration as well. Both models carried the BB-1 name but they were unique versions of the design.

Even if some of the BB series putters are core Bettinardi designs, they evolve with every release. Let’s explore what’s changed and what’s new with the 2024 BB line.

2024 Bettinardi BB Metal Modification: New Face Milling

Let’s face it: A company can’t just roll out the same thing every time and call it new. Something needs to actually be new. The 2024 Bettinardi BB line is the first to feature Bettinardi’s new Perpetual Flymill face milling. In 2022, Bettinardi started producing the BB line from 303 stainless steel. The faces of those putters were milled with “aggressive” milling to promote a softer feel.
