One of my most difficult decisions is when to replace one of my wedges. Of all my clubs, except my putter, my wedges are used the most. Mine are showing wear, but I am not sure it is time to try something new.

The 2016 golf season is over. The Ryder Cup was a fitting way to end a great year. We lost a giant in Arnold Palmer.
