Today, what are considered as great wedges? Like, maybe 10-20 years ago, Cleveland 588 was real popular among low handicap golfers. Is there anything today that enjoys the same?

Most of the major golf companies and several of the more boutique places make very good ones. Cleveland, Vokey, Ping and Callaway all have popular wedges.  Edel seems to have more of a custom fitting option.   They also all vary on the customizations like stamping and paint fills.   I don't think there is a consistent standard at this point.

I'd say any of the wedges made by the big equipment manufacturers like Callaway, Taylormade, Titleist, Ping, etc. are good options. I had Edel wedges for several years, and recently got fitted for some Cleveland wedges, and I have nothing negative to say about either brand.

Vokey wedges have their fan-boys, as do Cleveland, Callaway, Ping, et.al.  I really think any of the major players, which would include a couple of the boutique companies, such as Edel and Sub70, all make great wedges.  Everyone has different swings and needs, but there is a wedge out there for everyone!

How does one get fitted for wedges? I mean, what do they do, is it the same as with irons? Who offers fitting?

Wedge fitting involves checking launch angle, spin, decent rate and other parameters to optimize shaft choice and head grind. Not sure where you are in Louisiana, but Edel does have a fitter in NOLA. I love their wedges.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
