About the photograph

A rental listing starts an enquiry
Forest City Golf Resort's proshop lists golf-set rental. Before leaving your own clubs behind, ask for the actual set available for each player: handedness, suitable size and the clubs included, then the booking, collection and return terms. The same page lists shoes and accessories, but does not establish that every listed product can be hired. A generic service listing cannot reserve a left-handed set or establish today's condition and fee.
Do not assume one set can serve both players
R&A Rule4.1b restricts using another player's clubs for strokes during a round. Limited partner-format exceptions exist under Rules22.5 and23.7 when the combined limit is met. Tell the golf operator the exact form of play and ask the relevant committee about any rules question; being friends, sharing a buggy or buying one rental does not settle it. This is a planning distinction, not a ruling for your competition.
One bag does not mean shared playing clubs
The R&A clarification allows multiple players to carry their clubs in one bag while keeping each player's clubs clearly identifiable. That answers a carrying question, not permission to swap clubs when scoring. Separately check the venue's cart, bag and rental conditions. Do not treat the historical photograph as a compliant setup for your group: it is only an equipment close-up, not an inventory or a current inspection.
Confirm equipment before arranging the road journey
A useful enquiry states who is playing, whether each person is renting or bringing a set, and the booked course and format. If suitable equipment cannot be confirmed, keep the round provisional rather than solve the gap by assuming sharing is allowed. After the venue confirms, use our Singapore-to-Forest-City service page to discuss the separate journey. Declare the actual bags you will carry; do not assume a smaller bag count changes the fare or guarantees vehicle space.
