A buddy of mine has a set of irons, and one of them has a letter "A" stamped into it. Just what is it for?

Thanks

Gap Wedge.

The A is for "Approach"

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

In a set I have (Callaway Pro Series X-14 Steelhead irons), it's actually a gap wedge, but like Franco said, the A stands for "approach" as in "approach wedge". The loft of my A-wedge is 52-degrees.

It's possible. However, since OP didn't give the brand/model of club there's no real way to check & see what the manufacturer of those clubs call the "A" wedge. With my Callaways, it's definite that "A" = Approach Wedge.

With other brands/models, who knows? Carnac the Magnificent maybe? And, we're assuming the club with the "A" on it is a wedge. There's no real certainty of that unless OP tells us.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
