Can I use my pitching wedge from the sand and closer short game shots or do I need to go out and get a sand wedge too?? If so what is a good SW for around 100.00 and under I am a beginner with a high handicap


It will be over 100, but a Ping Glide wedge is worth the extra bit of money. 

I recommend using a SW, the design of the SW is meant to help you out in the sand.

thanks for the help!!!


I own a SW, but most of the time I use my LW  to get out of bunkers. I can get oit of bunkers with my PW too.  I use my SW  alot for chips, and pitches around the green. 

The deal is, most of the bunkets I play out of have pretty firm sand in them. Sand that is wateted down, and sun baked dry. 

I really don't know if all golfers need a SW or not. I suppose it's up to the individual.

    • Day 245: range session today. Spent it all working on slow swings, working on my lower body stuff in the backswing. Need to feel like I’m moving forward really early. But worked well when I did that. 
    • As long as we are on the subject and I’m outfitting my new bag, can someone explain hybrids to me. It seems they fall somewhere on the scale between must have and gimmick, but there’s obviously a market for them.  To me it seems like just more stuff to carry that doesn’t do anything irons can’t do, but I have no experience with them other than a H3 I picked up cheap here and it makes the ball go, but again, no better than an iron.  Hybrids didn’t exist last time I was serious about golf so I’ve had no exposure to the rationale, uses, benefits, etc.  Cheers, thanks, and happy golfing…!
    • Day 11 March 21 2025 Some indoor backswing work. Feeling the position I want the club at the top. Then doing some pathing to retrain the body. 
    • The description is confusing.  I agree it is a grey area for me. Do you get a drop if you are worried about hitting the path? What is the definition of interference? Like, reasonably sure it will interfere or could interfere? Can you purposely not take practice swings to confirm, so you can take the drop. 😉
