TIP OF THE WEEK
Which wedge should I use?
August 24, 2006
"Sometimes it is difficult to figure out which wedge to hit from 50 yards and in. With the lack of rain this past month, the ground has become very hard, creating a lot of tight lies, which means there isn't much grass under your ball. I see a lot of my students struggling as they attempt to use a sand wedge or lob wedge. Unless you are going over a bunker, try using a pitching wedge. Choke down on the club and play the ball back in your stance. It will be easier to lift the ball off the ground. Remember the ball will roll more, once it hits the green.
"Good luck!"
