Talk:Lob wedge

Pictures
I would love to get some pictures of the designation on the bottom of the club (either those with an L or with the actual lift stamped on there). I think a collection image (with the bottom of the club facing us and having 4 or 5 different types/sizes being displayed would be great). I am thinking about running to a used golf club store to see if I can get the pics unless somebody already has them.

"The first use of higher loft wedges began with Tom Kite, a former physicist for NASA, who recognized the need for higher loft wedges ..." Tom Kite, the golfer, was a former physicist for NASA? I can find that information in none of Tom Kite's online biographies. In addition, since he received a Business Administration degree in 1972 and turned pro as a golfer that same year, it seems unlikely to be true. Maybe the reference is to some other Tom Kite, in which case the link is wrong. In any case, it seems a cited reference is needed. 71.91.124.181 (talk) 11:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, I messed that up. It was Dave Pelz, i crossed the info from the reference.  Ive fixed it now.  Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 15:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

The writer was no doubt referring to Dave Pelz, a golf teacher and researcher who was in fact a physicist for NASA. He was an early advocate of the Lob wedge and worked with Kite in order to put more precision into his wedge game. This is described in either his book Putt Like The Pros, or Dave Pelz's short Game Bible.Djafoster (talk) 12:19, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You are correct, my apologies for that. I mixed my citations up a bit.  I have fixed it now, sorry for any inconvenience.  Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 15:54, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
