      0
    • 1 - I have my trusty Niblick and that's all I need.
      0
    • 2 - Doesn't matter which two, but you'd think it would be PW and SW
      4
    • 3 - Very common set up through the 80's and 90's.
      11
    • 4 - Its good to have options
      20
    • 5 - More options or is it because your PW is so delofted you had to stick in another gap wedge?
      3
    • 6 or more - If you answer this, you'd better explain why.

Why? becuase on any given day when I am playing with friends or walk in a total practice format, non league, non competitive in any nautre I COULD have any of those 17 in my bag?

Easy enough to play with 5 wedges and 14 clubs in a competitive format depending on the coarse played. I list the 17 available, the wedges never leave the bag.

I was just wondering how many wedges you all carry.

How many of you guys carry lob wedges 60 degrees or more.
Should I keep 3 wedges? I don't particularly hit my woods that well, and I'm decent with my 3 iron. Thinking of adding a lob wedge in place of my 5 wood.

Whenever I'm 50 yards or less, I always seem to carry my ball past the hole with my SW.
That's why I'm asking...

Slowly building my set.

I voted three. This does NOT include my P.W.

Srixon Gap Wedge, 52*- hit it about 100 yards, can hit it 90 if I choke up though.
Nike SV Tour Wedge, 56* - hit it about 80 yards, but never really take a full swing with it. usually don't leave myself this yardage because it's an awkward distance for me. I like to to hit this anywhere from around the green to 70 yards...more of a comfort zone. I feel like I'm swinging too hard with it for an 80 yard shot.
Callaway Big Bertha Lob Wedge, 60* Full swing will go about 70 yards, but I never really take a full swing with this. I only use my 60* for flop shots.

As you can see I am not a big hitter. I hope this helps you with your wedge selection.

Hard to say for sure. I put 3 in the poll. I carry 2 general purpose wedges (52° and 58°), my 56° is only used for greenside bunkers, and my 50° PW is essentially a 10 iron.

personally I carry two, a 52* gap wedge and a 60* sand wedge. I can control my distance pretty well with my sand wedge and can hit it 100 yards if I have to. My gap wedge I can hit up to 120. I really like chipping and the different shots I can hit my with my sw, and being able to control the distance really eliminates the need for a 3rd wedge.

PW 45*, 54* SW and a 60* LW. I'm thinking about buying a 56* and getting it bent to 57* though. I have no use for a 3W where I play so I have room for the extra wedge.

Or maybe I'll buy a 52* and 56*(and ditch my 54*). That would probably be better.

My distances are as follows.

PW - 115
SW - 95
LW - 65

I need a different setup to cover the gaps. I seem to leave myself alot of 80 yard approaches where I'm right between clubs, it's costing me strokes.

So... Why isn't the pitching wedge a wedge? That just seems silly to me as it's called a pitching wedge .

4. PW (47), 52, 56, 60. Covers me from about 130 and in. Though if I get a 2 hybrid/5 wood of some sort it will rotate with one of those depending on the course.

Could go 3 (47, 53, 58), but I'm not bending the 52 or buying a new 58 yet.

    • Day 566, May 21, 2024 Six-iron swings in the back yard. Felt good. It's hot here, though.
    • Yep. It’s easy to get distracted during the day and hardly drink any water. Our bodies do not have a good systems to warn us early enough. Some tips I like. Drink 16+ ounces of water when you wake up. The body can lose 1-2 lbs of water weight overnight. You are already in the red. If you know you are going to work out, or even walking 9 holes of golf. Drink water before hand and during the exertion. I was curious once, I did a 40 ish minute workout and I lost about 5 lbs of water weight. That is 80 ounces of water I need to replenish. Now I try to drink 24-36 ounces beforehand.  Aim for half an ounce of fluid, per pound of bodyweight, per day. Note, this is baseline not taking into account exercise or strenuous activity. Also, if you eat non processed foods, you can get a good amount through diet. If you eat processed foods, you need to drink more during the day.
    • Anyone in the group play tennis and interested in playing some tennis this weekend while we are away on recreation?  @StuM I messaged you about hotel accommodations please let me know what you can do.
    • That's kind of what I thought.  The ap maybe fine, but Shotscope is so inexpensive and works really well. I'm surprised more golfers don't use it. 
    • Me too. I tend to drink no less than 64 oz in the winter time. In the summer at least twice that.  I'm prone to cramping and cramping sucks. So, I drink plenty of water. BTW - I've become increasingly prone to cramping as I've aged. Aging sucks also.    Huh?  I'd love to know where you got this information. Did you ask your dog?  I'm not sure if I like or dislike the taste of water. It's water. It's one of the things that makes life on Earth possible.
