The golf gods were smiling and we found ourselves a long way up this par four with about… Read More »How to Stop Shanking Wedges
The wedges are often called the scoring clubs for good reason. Get them dialed in and you are going to be looking at some short putts to make birdie, par or whatever, depending on your level.
