@LeeJanzen Can someone give these guys (Lucas Glover and Jonathan Byrd) a glove. Not often you see gloveless players much less both in a playoff
Mike Fay, PGA
@mikefaygolf I have found that using the bounce correctly can really improve your short game
@mikefaygolf When you open the face more on your wedge, the more bounce you use.
@mikefaygolf Question about 60 degree wedges: I think 60 degree wedges should be used in only a few situations: close to the green
Joe Leenheer, PGA
