Other than the grips which should be replaced every couple years, the clubs should last a few hundred years with good care. Most of the new alloy/composite clubs will never rust so they should last a few thousand years. In practical terms, I play with a 20 year old set of Ping Zing clubs and they work as well today as when new. I also have clubs that are twice that old and still do the job. Edit: This answer would only be correct if one assumed the clubs were rarely played. Regular play will wear the club face over time, creating cupping of the irons in particular and reduced depth in the grooves, affecting spin. The best indicator of wear is to measure the depth of the grooves across the club and to measure the plane of the face of the club to detect cupping. As a reference - Tiger Woods replaces his wedges approximately 4 times per year and goes through 2 sets of irons in a single season (of course, he plays more, makes a living that way - and doesn't pay a cent to replace them).
They would generally try and keep a set of irons for a season, and woods for a season, but they would change wedges every couple of weeks. They could in theory change clubs every day but they like to have some consistency. They usually change woods and hybrids if there is a new model out or they are struggling with their current ones.
Hello, yes a Golf Stick is Exactly the same as a Golf Club. You might take a look at this discount golf site with many cheap golf clubs. http://yourgolfsupplies.com/Golf/Clubs
Take lessons, practice, watch the pros, think your way round the course, get the correct clubs for you and practice some more.
The great majority of professional golfers (at least 95%) make their living from teaching the game, running golf clubs and courses, and dealing in golf equipment. In American English the term golf pro refers to individuals involved in the service of other golfers.
No it doesn't. Most times we golfers find a bag we like that has the pockets, storage areas, etc. and throw our clubs in it. It may be a Titelist bag and have Calloway clubs in it. That goes for the pros also. Usually they use a bag with their sponsor's logo, but they play another sponsor's clubs.
Yes, there is nothing stopping them from doing so... well apart from being made from of by the other pros. In all seriousness though, in the last few years, a lot of pros have moved away from blade style irons and moved towards game improvement clubs which are a lot more forgiving on mishits.
The best quality clubs on the market today would be ones such as Taylormade, Titleist, Ping and Callaway. These are very popular with low amateurs as well as regularly used on the PGA Tour. There are also some less expensive brands however the ones listed above are so popular for a reason, it is because they are so good. The pros would not use a club which did not improve their game.
No, not the pros, but when you are out for a round of golf with your buddies, of course so.
The maximum is 14 clubs, all pros usually carry 14.
Golf professionals use clubs from a variety of manufacturers and are each tailored to each individual to suit their specific individual body type and swing. There is an awful lot to be gained by having a correctly fitted set of clubs, something all pros but not all amateur golfers take advantage of. Most Pros will then select 13 clubs from a pool for possibly 18 clubs (Golfers may only carry 14 clubs, and virtually all serious players will carry a putter!) specifically for the course they are playing on that particular day. They select the clubs that will provide the best combination of clubs taking into consideration trajectory, carry, overall distance, spin rate, feel at impact, course setup and hazards, but it's essentially the clubs they think that will enable them to shoot the lowest score possible for that round!

The lofts vary between individual clubs and manufacturers. ie - XYZ PW has 46 degrees of loft whilst ABC PW has 48 degrees.
Their pros carry a really small book, around A6 or so. It just has the course mapped out, it tells how the putts break on the green, and it also has the yardages. The players will have written down clubs they have hit in the past into the hole so they have the best opportunity to hit the ball close.

Yes. Fitted clubs are fairly popular but it is recommended that you are fairly good at golf before you get this done because it is fairly expensive. Fitted clubs use different components, from different companies. A club head from could be from one company, and the shaft and grip from another. It may also include exact specifications for loft and lie of every club and even a recommendation of what ball to use.
