My short game improved substantially after getting Dave Pelz' Short Game Bible and a set of GOOD wedges, including a 60°, which I use more than any club in my bag except my putter. I can play all sorts of trajectories from all sorts of lies with the 60 that I can't with even the 56. My 56 has 12° of bounce my 60 has half of that.

Check how sharp the grooves are. My first 60 was a cheaper version. I couldn't get good spin with it.

In my TM r7 Stand bag:
Driver- r11 10.5° Reg shaft

Fairway wood - r11 3 wood
Hybrids- r11 3, 4 & 5
Irons- M1 6-AW, xft 50, xft 54.12 , xft 60.08°
Still have / love my r7 CGB Max 6-PW, xft 50, xft 54.12, xft 60.08° which I keep in Myrtle Beach, Tommy Armour 855 Putter

I love hitting my 60 degree. Its just so easy to stop. Its great for chipping and pitching. You take 50% to 75% swings and it goes like 30 to 40 yards. Everyone should get one. Ideally everyone should have a pitching wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge and a lob wedge.

The bounce is supposed to depend on the lies you usually play and your swing type. The more the bounce the steeper the swing type and the thicker the lie. As to types of wedges I always play Clevelands. They have the best feel for me. I would try to feel both a Vokey and a Cleveland CG. Ditch the Callaway. But thats me....

Why do you say ditch the Callaway? Roger Cleveland designs them....

I guess I feel that he would put more effort into the clubs that bear his name. And everyone that doesnt play Cleveland plays Vokeys....

    • Day 139- Slow, swings with short practice club. 
    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
