I really love my tour models from ping, give them some green side shots before you commit to something else. Whatever is comfortable and gives you confid

Get a job - even after a few hours of minimum wage work, you can probably afford almost any gap wedge.

The Cleveland CG16 is a great wedge. I too really like the Vokey wedges, and I have one in my bag, but after trying the Cleveland wedge, I loved it.

Assuming you want advise, not money.

Either match your irons or match your wedges. You MAY get a bit more length if you match your irons. You MAY get a bit more versatility if you match your wedges.

Take it easy. He was joking.

This is like the 3rd or 4th thread that you've posted about gap wedges, so you're obviously concerned about choosing the right wedge. If it hasn't been said before, go to a golf shop, take a look around, and try to hit as many as they will allow you to. Anything from the major OEM's, as long as you like it and feel comfortable with it, will be a good choice. Remember that you always have the option of bending the loft of a wedge if it's not just right.

Good luck.

Some irons sets do have an available GW that progressively follows the lofts. You can opt for that OR you can match the GW with whatever SW and/or LW you have in your bag.

For example, if you have a Titleist AP1 set, there is a matching GW that goes with that. The other option is if you SW or LW is a Vokey SM4, then get a Vokey SM4 GW.

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
