I was never really good, coiuldn't even break 90. Finally brought my clubs to Germany so I can hit. Have a range pass good til the end of the year, working mainly on short game, need to buy a SW and a LW. LH but RH dominant. Just marking this thread for future reference

You do NOT need to buy a lob wedge. For any reason.

Noted. I think I need something with more loft
than my PW though. Found a used 60* Vokey for sixty bucks but now having second thoughts.

I have a 60 but only use it out of the bunker(i have no idea how people hit full shots with it from the fairway). 56 is more than enough for most am golfers. Try out different bounces to see what works for you

Speak to a fitter if that's something in your financial range, but if not I'd gently suggest considering a 54 degree and a 58 degree instead of the more traditional 52-56-60. Or just go with 52-56.

For sure. But I'd gently suggest sticking with wedges with lofts with the first digit being a 5 in front of it.

I believe I carry 47 (PW) - 50 (gap or A wedge) - 54 - 58

Well, I went out almost immediate afterwards - because I was feeling great - and played our A player in a cash game from the tips (the 69 was from the regular men's tees). Shot an 81 and only made one birdie and lost $150. Told the player (he's my BIL and a regular playing partner of mine) that I felt taken advantage of.

Trilogy is the course we played, right? If so, that's a tremendous score!

Yes, we played Trilogy. The day we played you were flawless with the driver & mid irons. Anything below 100 yards in & you had some hiccups. You still shot 77. I had 79. Think you had to meet a client in jail after. LOL
