1922 The steel-shafted club is approved for use in competition
On a motion made, seconded and carried, by the USGA Executive Committee, the steel-shafted club was approved for use at the recommendation of the Implements and Ball Committee. Players had begun experimenting with steel shafts in the early 1900s, but were not approved until 1922 for use in competition.
