Hi all, I've been recently upgrading my bag and was interested to get people's thoughts on the what I should do next.
Having gotten back into the sport seriously again after a few years lay-off (apart from the odd round here or there), I obtained a handicap of 16. I made the decision to upgrade my irons given the fact my old ones were somewhere between 10 and 15 years old.
My current bag looks as follows:
- Driver: Nike SQ Sumo2
- Irons: TaylorMade M6 4-PW
- Wedge: RAM Wizard 60 degree
- Putter: Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball
The debate I'm having with myself is whether I should invest in a longer club (somewhere from a 3 wood down to possibly a hybrid the equivalent of a 3 iron) or a couple of wedges (between 50 and 58 degrees). My home course isn't particularly long and is only 9 holes with 7 out of 9 tee shots only requiring a 3 iron or less. Given the recent upgrade in irons, I no longer have the 3 iron hence the consideration to try and replace it somehow. My driving is also the worst part of my game and very inconsistent so it would be good to have a go to club off the tee that will give me more distance than a 3 iron but something I can rely on when the driver isn't working. Despite this temptation I know how important the game is from inside 100-120 yards and feel a couple of different wedges for different situations may be of more benefit.
It would be good to get opinions on this to help me going forward and maybe even a recommendation as to a particular club they would suggest (brand/make).

It is the only gap wedge I've ever had though, haha.
