Technically it evolved from a tournament called the Thunderbird Invitational from 1954-1959. Before the 1960 beginning you are referring to in the question.

the answer for the rules question was a nice trick for the question didn’t ask what the penalty would be under the new rule. the way it was worded had most reading it as it stands before the change. i looked on the internet and there is no change as of yesterday as to the answer would have been D.

6. All Equipment Is Conforming
6: There’s been a lot of hoopla from the USGA recently about equipment. What’s ‘conforming’ and what’s not.
It all seems pretty pointless when you realize that despite all the advances in golf equipment, the average score among recreational golfers hasn’t changed over the last 50 years. The average 18-hole score on a full-size course is 97 for men and 114 for women. Only a very small elite break 80 on a consistent basis.
Even more depressing, a golfer’s scoring ability isn’t likely to improve with experience. USGA research has shown that very rarely will a golfer significantly improve after playing for 3 years.
(a) With SortaGolf “anything goes” with respect to equipment. If some manufacturer is willing to make it, then it’s okay to use it. Drivers with a “spring-like effect”, “hot” balls that fly forever, non-conforming club designs, specs that exceed USGA mandates…you name it, they are all legal.
(b)Equally important, there is no limit (ie.14) on the number of clubs one may carry in their bag. Consider it amnesty for all recreational golfers.
(c)We agree with what Arnold Palmer said, “we should focus on people having fun playing golf and using the equipment they enjoy using.”
