Best thing about this edition of “Mondays Off” was that Steve was the star and we barely heard from Tursky. More Wesphal and less Tursky is a winning combination.

I live in Florida and have struggled immensely with grainy Bermuda pitch and chip shots. Recently I’ve found the best solution comes from Paul Azinger in which a player will get his hands and club shaft more vertical with hands at or even slights behind the ball. This fully engages the toe of the wedge, his point was that the toe cuts and the heel digs. With an in grain Bermuda lie you hit down onto the ball with the toe of the wedge. It’s pretty remarkable how effective this shot is when engaged properly.
