Sand Wedge
Club designed for bunker shots
Pronunciation
/sænd wɛdʒ/
Definition
A high-lofted club (typically 54-58 degrees) specifically designed for escaping sand bunkers. The sand wedge features a wide sole with bounce to prevent the club from digging too deep into the sand, allowing it to glide through and lift the ball out.
Example
"She grabbed her sand wedge for the bunker shot."
