Which is the more important club in your bag – the wedge or the driver? I hear this debate all the time and to me, this is a trick question. On the one hand, the driver is the club that gets you into position to use the wedge. On the other hand, the wedge is the club that gets you close to the hole so you have a good chance at birdie.
One thing I don’t hear mentioned is the length of each swing. I have used Tiger Woods as my model, notice how long the top of his swing is with the driver and how controlled it is with the wedge. This is something you may wish to work on because the driver hits the ball farther whereas the wedge is more of a distance control club.
