No one was using one, but somehow the topic of chippers came up. I have written on this topic before, but in order for a chipper to be conforming, it has to meet these criteria:
- Only one face
- Circular grip
- No aiming appendage
What if I call my chipper a putter? Then the second and third don't apply. And a putter can have two faces anyway*. And it is legal to carry more than one putter.
So what gives?
A chipper is considered an iron if it has more than ten degrees of loft. As an iron, it has to conform to the three criteria above.
So there you have it...
* a putter can have two faces, but they must be identical and opposite.
