When I’m playing with members or walking the range at Salem Golf Club, I see players trying to hit short shots with a number of different clubs. Most of the time the clubs being utilized are pitching wedges and nine irons.

Using these clubs is not an incorrect thing to do, but the player is extremely limited in the type of shot they can play. The shot will be lower flighted, spending less time in the air and more time on the ground. That’s okay if you have enough green to work with, and the green is not “pushed up” or elevated. My suggestion is to put the lower lofted clubs away and reach for the sand wedge. The sand wedge, when used properly, is one of the most versatile clubs in the bag.
