I currently don't actually own a 60* (as you can see from my sig i only have a pw and a 56*) but i've been playing around with a friends lately and I'm going to buy one soon primarily for these shots:

1. over a bunker (or other hazard) to the green
2. compact sand bunker
3. 65yard and in shots

200 steel 5 wood

56* 14 Pro Platinum Newport 2 Pro V1 B330-S

I use mine just about any time im around the green... chips, pitches, flops, harder packed bunkers (my 60 has lower bounce than my 56).

Its an extremely versatile club if you practice with it. Mine even won me a match yesterday... chipped in for the win.

I was one of those who just seemed to love the 60.I have actually had to discipline myself to try other clubs from 80 yds in.I try to use all of my wedges,they are all fun to use and now I have more options,but the 60 gets you out of tight situations when the pin is very close say 20 yds or less.
A few adjustments to the face forward or back in your stance,short aggressive swing or long and loopy it really is very versatile.

    • Great year last year. Who winning this year could be another special story? Brooks? Spieth? Or Aberg? An AM? I dont know if anything could top last year 
    • I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!        
    • I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope. I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding.  Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times.   Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).
