I bought a set  of cleveland 588 Tour Action wedges in 49 56 and 60 with dynamic gold stiff shafts. My irons though is regular. My thoughts are as short as they are it doesn't mater about the shaft stiffness but am I right or would it be good to spend the money to change them to regular shafts? Seams like I hit them about the same distance as the are.

With wedges you really need to go by dynamic measures and not static. Your wedges will have much more variability on trajectories/distances so it’s important you have them tuned to that. Whichever shaft gives you the greatest control is much more important than distance with your wedges.

I have no idea what you mean and no idea how to tune them.

In general, having stiffer or heavier shafts in wedges can help for a couple of reasons. First, it can lower flight and stop the ball from ballooning. Second, for short game shots, it gives you more control IMO. I rarely take full swings with my wedges. More like 3/4, 1/2 etc. shots where I’m choking down a 1/2” or more. So the heavier shaft keeps the club feeling the same and the irons.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
