@Graeme_McDowell RT @Spudpar @ClevelandGolf Graeme, do you always use that 58º on greenside bunker shots? >>sometimes use my 52 for longer trap shots
@Graeme_McDowell RT @gcranner please explain to an 8 handicap why you need a 48 & 52 degree wedge >>all about yardage coverage. 0-125yards. Scoring area.
@Graeme_McDowell RT @holbrookmatt have you bent the 58 or 52? big gap to have in wedges >> 52 goes 115y and 58 is 95y, but like taking yardage off my 52
