The toughest test in golf? The US Open starts this Thursday, no doubt the Shinnecock Hills course will be set up with very firm greens and if you miss the fairway the rough will be very punishing. The USGA usually like the winning score to be around par so we will probably not see as many birdies and eagles as most weeks and a few more big numbers on the scorecards. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing, but it should make for good television. There is also a small football event that starts this Thursday!

[* END *] We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the key to unlocking lower scores lies in improving your short game. Having the correct technique is one part of the journey to achieving this. The other is making sure your wedges are the correct grind and bounce for your swing, as well as having a set of wedges that are evenly gapped to cater for any distance. |

50% of you are like the first graphic If you’re working hard to get your handicap down to single figures, it really will pay off to dedicate more of your practice time to your short game and the shots you need to improve in the scoring zone. As you can see with the graphics above, the wrong wedge set-up can lead to an awkward 35-yard gap and more difficult half shots, which is why we always recommend a gapping session or fitting.
With PING you have plenty of options, including this popular Glide 2.0 Stealth wedge, which comes in seven different lofts between 46° and 60°. It means whether you’re looking for a two, three or four wedge set-up in your bag, we can get your yardages gapped perfectly. |
