Who play's 4 wedges? who has replaced their PW with another wedge i.e. 48 degree? To clarify say one was to buy a set of wedges then garage the pw and buy a 48 degree vokey. Have you done this?

I carry 4 wedges. PW-46*, GW-52*, SW-56*(used for bunkers only because of bounce) & LW-60*.

I play three, but I'm pondering a fourth (GW).

I've got a 46* PW, 56* SW, and a 60* LW.

I used to carry 4 (48, 51, 56, 60). But replaced the 51 with a 2i hybrid. Now carrying 3 (48 R7TP, 54 Vokey Spin Milled, 58 Vokey Spin Milled). Low bounce on the wedges so I can open them up if I need more loft.

I've also replaced a 48 degree "set" wedge with a new 48 wedge. However, I only did it because I had worn the grooves out on the "set" wedge.

I play 4 wedges, although I haven't replaced the PW from my set. Part of the reason I carry 4 wedges is the PW from my set (TA5 Gunmetal) is 45 degrees, giving me a huge gap between that and my sand (56). So I have a PW (45), GW (51), SW (56) and LW (60)

This topic has come up quite a bit lately which really shows the importance of the wedge/short game.

I went with the same option today. 48 degree oil can, 54 degree spin milled, 60 degree spin milled. VERY happy with the yardage gaps.

PW 46 Taylor Made Burner LCG
SW 56 Cleveland Gunmetal 588

and thats it folks. I do carry a 36 degree chipper for putts just off the green. I am thinking about picking up a 52 GW, but really... i dont even know if ill need it. My short game is by far the strong point of my game with just the two wedges and the DfX putter so if it aint broke dont fix it.

I currently use 54 and 58 Callaway X-Tour wedges along with a 48 degree Callaway Forged + wedge. Ideally I should probably have the 54 bent to 53 to create equal gaps between the 3 clubs. I have also used the 48-54-60 combination and that works about as well over all. I personally favor 3 wedges over 4 as it simplifies things for me on the course. A 4 wedge system is probably just fine for some folks, "whatever floats your boat" as they say.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
