Good morning golf nutz.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day morning. The coffee pot is brewing, dogs sleeping on the couch and morning drive is on the TV life is beautiful.

I'm missing out on lowering my scores because I'm playing without a wedge. I found this used Titleist 56 degree at globalgolf.com, http://www.globalgolf.com/product/golfclub/-/pid--1014695/wedge/titleist/vokey-spin-milled-tour-chrome-09.aspx?gd=3

It looks like a good option, haven't really heard anyone say anything bad about the Titleist wedges. I'd appreciate your feedback! Just want to make sure it's not a complete dud. Keep in mind I'm a 117 average (and improving ) and I don't plan on setting the world on fire, just need some help around the greens.

Thank you

Lee

Furthest thing ever from a dud - Vokey wedges are among the best, really can't go wrong with Them. I have Vokey sand and lob wedges, and won't be changing anytime soon;-)

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

Vokeys are definately a wedge you want in your bag.  If you look at all wedges in the pros bag ( not saying what the pros use is what you should use) but everyone carrys a Vokey.  I only say that because that really shows how much better this wedge is compared to others for nearly every tour player to want one in there bag.

Is their any real difference between the 2009 and the new version out right now?

"There" is a difference in the grooves and probably changes in the R & D that you won't notice.

The grooves are different but in general not really, especially to most ams. The 2009 is a great wedge and you won't do much better.

My current wedges are:

PW that comes with my G15's (45*) It's strongly lofted, so I hit it about 125-130. And I'm not a HUGE swinger either.

$3 Wedge I pulled out of a barrel at a dirt track I play at sometimes. It's a Shakespeare Gary Player Tru-Aim from the... 80's? No idea. It's... fine. But I'm not consistent with it, and its so different from my other irons that I don't use it. Don't even know the loft of this club, and cannot find the info online. Probably weaker than 45* though.  I just do the 1/2 or 3/4 swing with my G15 PW, instead of wonder.

A Sand Wedge marked 'Sand Wedge'. It gets me out of the sand, I suppose! Totally different grips, clubhead shape, and feel from all my other clubs. No idea who made it, don't particularly care for it. Another dinosaur.

I am also a 115+ (see, 120+, lol) player, and I just got both a used Tour Chrome 09' 56* and a 52* as well off of ebay, each for about the price that one you got is. They are en-route right now! I hope we like them!

I think and hope that having 2 new wedges that I have all the info about, that are from the same series/year, and in decent shape, for a decent price will help out from 120 and in, as well as out of the sand.

Good luck with yours!

I got two rounds of golf on my new wedge and I'm impressed. First time out I didn't get a chance to practice with it at all and was a little uncomfortable however, when I got to the end of the round I was getting more confident with the club. Last week I some good practice time in and was able to see some results chipping onto the greens! I just need to work on getting to the greens on less shots and I will have this down :) Thanks again for your input everyone!

I've finally gotten used to my 52* and 56* Vokey's. They are great! And for 70 bucks for the two of them used off ebay, great value!

The 52* is my 120-90 club, and the 56* is for mostly whatever is inside 90. The 56* provides lots of control around the green.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
