The number of wedges you should carry in your bag depends on your playing style, skill level, and personal preferences. Carrying three wedges, such as a pitching wedge, gap wedge, and sand wedge, can offer sufficient versatility and cover a range of distances for most golfers. However, if you feel confident in your short game and want to add more shot options around the green, carrying four wedges, including a higher lofted lob wedge, could be beneficial. Consider how comfortable you are with each wedge’s loft and your ability to control them effectively. Ultimately, choose the setup that suits your game and allows you to feel confident and capable on the course.
