When I started playing about two years ago, my wedges were my bread and butter. Every bunker shot was a 1 out with a good putt opportunity, and my full wedge shots were consistent in distance and accuracy. At that time, my long clubs were my weakness, mostly teeing off with my 5 iron. When i did hit driver, the spin was rediculous, and it would either skip and roll really close to the teebox(topspin delofting club or not starting the ball up due to stance?), or hooked left by about 15-20 yards on average(possibly no full shoulder turn not sure anymore), causing me to aim way right with my feet to try and remedy it. Recently I lost my trusty old 58* spaulding(Spaulding Executive SW, measured at 58*) from another era, a club that I hit very well even on flop shots. The flange on the bottom of it was very wide by todays standards, and even though i sometimes had fat and wide divots they went were i wanted for the most part. Started learning long clubs about 8 months ago, and continued to lose confidence in my wedges. I have a feeling the vokey sm4 58* that I have now isn't forgiving enough, but it could also be just my swing. My sand wedge and lob are very thin soled, but ive started regaining my full wedge shots by focusing on the mechanics. Just started seeing the bad spins on my driver today, even though i was flag hunting with my wedges... Any ideas please help, my problem seems either cyclical in between the shortest(wedge) and longest(driver) full swings or due to me losing my trusty 25 year old wedge and switching to thin soled low bounce wedges. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

    • Rory!!  What a great round. 
    • Oh great, now that the door opened last year, he thinks he owns the place and waltz in for another jacket anytime he wants. Kids these days. Such entitlement. 😜
    • I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.
    • Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now. 
    • A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.
