However manufacturers may not contiune to manufacturer or stock wedges that are not conforming to the Condition of Competition rules. 1 January 2014: The 'Condition of Competition' regulations are set to be extended to the lower tiers of professional tours and elite amateur events. 1 January 2024: Still playing with your old clubs? If they are still going, then this will be the time to replace them as the new regulations come into force for every golfer.
