How Often Should I Change My Wedges, and Why?

Most golfers never think about their wedges until a chip that should have stopped dead goes skidding across the green. This guide explains exactly why that happens, how many rounds a wedge really lasts before its grooves give up their bite, and what worn grooves actually cost you in spin and control. Beyond the numbers, it covers the reasoning every senior golfer needs: why spin matters more as swing speed eases with age, what accelerates wear on the course and on the range, and how to get honest, sensible value when it finally is time to replace one. Five simple checks tell you everything you need to know, no launch monitor required. Written for golfers fifty and over who want to understand not just when to change their wedges, but why it matters.
