Cool lets talk wedges again

I'm looking at a 55 and 60 degree loft wedges at golf galaxy. they are wilson brand. I used the two wedges,different brands, this evening and I must say I saw remarkable results getting that white orb near the hole much better than the sand wedge or pitching wedge. does it really matter on the brand name. I have to be smart in these matters. ya see; momma gets mad at me when I want to buy new toys she has the purse strings. I'm olny the boss, as I've said before, when she lets me.

Frist up congrats on making the 1000 th thread.I'm looking at this at the moment too. I figure the boss said I cant get new irons yet but if I get some nice wedgees that could help with my short game. I like the idea of being able to put abit more controlable spin on to the ball.

Hey broken tee, to answer some of your questions. Brand doesn't really matter, I play Wilson irons and they are great. Its really on how much spin you want because wedges grooves are cut in different ways. Plus it is all in what you wanna spend too, Cleveland, Titleist, and Taylor Made wedges are around $100 a piece which is probably too expensive for most people.

See golf doesn't begin on the 1st tee and doesn't end on the 18th green... its a life long journey.

Times like these I am thankful for not having a ring on my finger.
There was this one time though that a girlfriend nagged me to death about me going and paying $50 for a round of golf because she said I needed to save up to buy her a ring.. she is now my ex.

I had got a Titleist Vokey for my birthday from my father and I like it ok.. I still only use it about twice in 18 holes though. I do get more back spin out of it and it just feels a whole lot better than this wal-mart 56 degree I had.

This has to be the same one that got mad at you for too much barley pop when she went with you on course...so get at least one than huh?

No its a different one. This one actually went out and bought a wedding dress after we were together for only a month.. She was CRAZY!!

The way I see it is for 99.9% of people golf never pays for itself so since you are spending the money you might as well go all out.

Golf does pay for itself: I'm at peace with nature I only swear at myself not my fellow man. I don't worry about illegal lane changes on the fairway just have to be careful not to hit a canada goose or not to step or splatter goose poo all over yourself, its great mental thearapy that sooths the soul. So I don't *&^% someone up that rightly deserves it.

That is UNDOUBTEDLY the best reason I have ever heard to own a rain suit.

We have this odd water fowl around here called a coot. As near as I can tell, they defy the laws of nature by not participating in the food chain, but by excessively participating in the poop chain. I think you get a two stroke discount if you hit one with the cart.

At the course that I play on hole number 3 you have to hit over a pond and then drive on a bridge to go to the green. Right by the brige is where this one goose always sits and then when you pass on the cart that goose will put its head down and start chasing after you. It bites pretty hard too.

Have they caused any damage to the course? They are wintering here now with some ponds (circulating water) being ice free in the winter and they have learned two legged creatures with sticks won't harm them. the only way to get a birdie for me is to hit one
