Wedge Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

When it comes to your wedges and your wedge selection for your shot. Um, one question you need to ask yourself is, do you carry enough? Um, I carry four. So my pitching wedge, I then have a gap, wedge, a sand wedge, and a lob wedge. Um, Now when you got to think about how many wedges you carry, what you've got to look at is we've only got 14 clubs and you're going to take your putter out of there.

So you've got 13 more spaces in your bag. So you need to make sure that you've got the gap and distances filled as closely as possible throughout the bag top end and bottom end. So some of you guys might have more fairway woods and hybrids. So you may only carry three wedges. Some of you may have the space to carry four. So selecting the lofts for all those wedges is really, really important. When it comes to playing the shots with them, the principles would all be exactly the same.
