Just got birthday money for a golf specialty store (thanks wifey 
). I don't own a sand wedge or lob wedge. Which of these should come first?

Re: SW or LW???
Assuming you have a gap wedge, sand wedge first.
Assuming you don't have a gap wedge, gap wedge first.
Fill in your yardage gaps appropriately. Get your PW measured, then buy something 4° weaker. (ie if your PW is 48°, buy a 52° wedge). -
Re: SW or LW???
What are the typical degrees of a PW, GW, LW and SW?
Honestly I don't know what a "gap wedge" is!>?!?!
Thanksl

Re: SW or LW???
Depending on the age of your irons (assuming they're fairly new), your PW will be 46-48°, and your sand wedge will be 54-56°. This leaves a 'gap' in your lofts (as much as 10°), so you buy a 'gap' wedge to fill it. This gap wedge will be 50-52°, and purchased ideally so that you have a 4° gap between both your PW and your SW. Your LW is 60° (+/- 1°), and you can buy ULW or XW at 64°.Comment
