　　4-3/8 Player Starting with 13 Clubs Breaks Putter in Anger and Replaces It
　　Q: A player who started a round with 13 clubs broke his putter in anger, i.e., other than in the normal course of play, during the first nine holes. He bought another putter in the pro shop after the first nine holes and used it for the remainder of the round. Rule 4-3a(iii) permits replacing a club only if it becomes unfit for play in the normal course of play. Was the player subject to penalty?

　　A: No. Since he started with 13 clubs, he was entitled to add another club under Rule 4-4a.
