Not sure if this is a serious question, but if it is, the answer is essentially "yes". Men's clubs that you buy off the shelf have standard lengths for each club, and pretty much every guy uses that same size whether they are 5'4" up to about 6'2". Guys who are taller than 6'2" can get an inch added to their clubs if they want, it's not that expensive, but many don't bother. My son is 6'4" and uses a standard set.

Of course, if you have the wallet to get into custom sets, you can do whatever you want.

Why aren't clubs made to compliment a persons height/reach? So a tall guy has to swing all bent over and the short guy has to swing and drill the ground everytime? This really is news to me as I've only golfed once in my life. I've never had an interest in it. I thought for sure though that since there is such a large variety in sizes and reach that there would be a large variety in club lengths.

No comment about club lengths, but I never was any good at it, 6'5" and bad lo back/spine....so rapidly lost interest......

Dad was a founding member of a country club, decades ago....surprised the joint is still around, really.....

We got both of our sons extended length golf clubs years ago. They were not custom made.

I'm not sure why you think a short guy will "drill the ground every time". If he is really short, he can choke up on the club a little. If he actually has dwarfism or something, there are kids clubs available, or as said above, custom is always an option if you want to pay.

I'm pretty sure I covered that in my post above.
Mostly I was worried about Garf. He's my friend and people never consider his disabilities. You should have seen what people did the last time we took him bowling.

Was that the same night, or a different night than the time you took him to a bar, and a bunch of burly guys competed to see who could throw him the furthest?

It's all a little Hazy. It started as a 3 day bar crawl, but somewhere I lost a day or two. I found these flyers in Garfs wallet. I think he hooked up with Tiny Tina.

I did win the world championship. Garf stole my money though, that's why I was going through his wallet.

When we enable decades of people who keep making poor like choices we get a culture of entitlement and violence. We have known this since the mid 1960s and have ignored it each and everytime the data shows it to be true.
