There is no way that I would ever have the opportunity to have a club custom made for me other than through something like this. I think any true enthusiast of the game would love to have the opportunity to game a wedge custom made by a legend such as Roger....including me It is a once in a life time opportunity!!! Thanks GolfWRX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fingers are crossed hahaha

[tbowles411]

Now THIS I have to get into! This would be AWESOME!

I have no wedge game. Nothing fits that is stock and I keep making sacrifices and have no consistency. If I were to get a set of real wedges and learn to use something that actually fits, I know I would improve. Would an additional, "please" help?

[jrazz16]

Count me in for this contest! Having these wedges will give me the chance to see how the "other" side lives in reference to tour equipment. It would be a thrill of lifetime to work with such a craftsman such as Mr. Cleveland. Ahh Wishes! Go Lefties! Thank you so much the for the chance!

[beruo]

Wow. Just...wow!





hopefully the winner(s) don't sell them a week later

[ejmac]

The reason I would want them is they would be custom made by the original innovator of wedge design, as well as shave some strokes off my short game. It would mean alot to have the tour pro pampering by having a set of wedges custom designed for me by Mr. Cleveland

[PixlPutterman]

Given the once in a lifetimeness of the situation, and the fact that rounds are ruined from 100 yards in, this is by far my best chance to make it the arrow, not the indian

Thank you for the oppourtunity

[Miker2k]

Because there is no way my wife would ever let me spend money on "more expensive golf clubs"

[lightningbolt444]

count me in on this one i love wedges

[tpariff]

Holy crap!!! Thanks Callaway, Roger Cleveland and Golfwrx!!

I'd like to get the same treatment a tour pro gets. Wedges are critical to scoring, and having someone with the expertise of Roger Cleveland custom fitting wedges to MY game would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Count me in!

Thanks again. This is simply awesome.

First of AGAIn.....WOW FU**ING WEE! this is so cool!

Roger is a master and a legand in the game. When it comes to great club design and building he has been at the front of many of those innovations. He has the now RARE skill of hand craftmanship. Most have grown up designing and bulding in CAD programs while he has been around since the get go and has shown everyone how its done. He can see what a club should be from a raw block of metal. The purpose behind the lines, wieght, material, grinds and so on is more than function its art. Many putter makers have this sense of ART in a putter. FEW people can see the art of a wedge. And for us golf nerds his work stands pretty much alone. The talent it takes to apply any grind to any wedge and make it look like nothing you have ever seen before and then to take it to the course and hit shots you could never have before is AWESOME. I have played with grinding my own wedges an I SUCK. But Mr. Cleveland is bay far the man I would love to experiance how someone can take standard ol' wedge and transform it into a beast! The detail of the grind the detail of the stamp all of it intruges me so much i think i have a problem. haha.

Thanks too everyone involved with this and ALL the giveaways. Its awesome to see the stuff we chirp pn about all day on this site actually being put into th hand of the lucky few. Can I be one of those gus now? Haha

[stanford]

the first thing i have to say is wow this would be a sweet contest to win . now, i feel like i should win these wedges because i have had a few callaway wedges and just loved how they looked and the spin i can get with them is out of this world. also, being able to work with such a craftsman such as Mr. Cleveland it would be great experience to be in the presence of a pure genius would just be awesome. Also he designed the wedges of my favorite golfer Aaron baddeley. Another reason would be is i plan to redo my whole bag and this would be an awesome starting point. Please pick me !!

[colangus]

The honour of having custom made wedges from Roger Cleveland himself would be amazing. I've never had the privilege of having my own personal ground wedges and this would be an opportunity of a lifetime.

Count me in!

[bfactor1282]

Since my junior days, I've found nothing but a lack of grooves that would kick the 588's out of the bag; and then they are just replaced with a fresh 588! While I've enjoyed the all around design benefits that these wedges offer, the opportunity to dig deeper into the different grind and bounce configurations available at the custom level would be wonderful. Undoubtedly though, the most valuable part of this offer is what I'd learn about my game and my equipment, which would stay with me long after the grooves are worn down.

And realistically, when else would I have such a resource available to me?!?

[jdubbs]

Wow,

I would be truly dumbfounded, if i would be able to have the opportunity to have customized wedges done by a pro's pro.

The quality would be amazing, and to have them customized for me, would be awesome. I have very good feel around the greens with what I use now, I couldn't imagine how much better it could be. :)

Thanks alot for the offer.

[w8liftr]

Wow, what an unbelievable contest. I love my Scratch wedges, but it would be awesome to have a set of wedges custom ground by Roger Cleveland.

Thanks to Golfwrx, Callaway & Roger Cleveland for a magnificent contest. Wow!

[idiotbox]

Because they would improve the part of my game that needs the most improvement. My short game is horrible and a custom set of wedges would be the next step in improving said deficiency. It would be an great experience to get the level of service that the pros get not to mention the benefits that come with a custom fitted wedge.

[Tim Delgado]

The ONLY Callaway club I have in my bag is a 60* wedge similar to the wedge in the Baddley bag photos. I felt that I needed some more spin, and I had read about the MD grooves being the best out there. The 60* I have in the bag now spins better than ANYTHING I have ever hit and I love it. I would really love to fill in my set with these excellent wedges.

It would be a real treat to get wedges custom made by someone with such knowledge and expertise. Having input from someone with Mr. Cleveland's experience would certainly help get my new priority on short game improvement off to a great start.

My wedge game is definately the weakest part of my game, and these wedges could really help me take a big step in the right direction.

Thanks GolfWRX and Callaway for the great contest. Pick me!!

Tim

[Dbogey]

I would like to have these wedges becuase I change wedges more than my underwear!! I've ho'd more wedges over the last 2 years looking for the perfect wedges that fit my playing style as well as my eye, It would be a privilage to have "the master" of wedges personally build a set of wedges for me.

Thanks for the opportuity Callaway, Roger and Golfwrx!!!

DBOGEY

ps. my new 60* cost me some serious shots on sat. but I'm holding off ho'ing any until I wain this contest!!

[msugolfer87]

As a college player I would love to have the opportunity to play such wedges. I already play the callaway x forged wedges and absolutely love the way they feel and look. This would def. benefit my game and make me a better player knowing that I have custom wedges that are built for me! No one else. Roger Cleveland is a master at making a wedge, he always has been. This would just make my that much better in my mind!

[sweatygolfer]

I would love to have the same service as the pros, i keep trying to compare myself to my favorite pros (even tho there is no comparison) and this would make it easier. Also, this would mean that when i hit a bad wedge shot i have no one to blame but myself since my wedges would be made for me to my specs.

[RRyders88]

Wow, great contest guys. I am a long time Roger fan, and have owned two sets of 588's, one set of Callaway Forged, one set of Callaway X-Tours, and two sets of x-forged vintage wedges. Needless to say, i am a fan of his work as nobody else seems to perfect the headshape of a wedge like he does. To have a handground set by Roger himself would be a dream come true! Thanks for the opportunity guys!

[devlbasher]

I'd want them because I rely on my wedges, and with some changes I've made to my swing, I feel like I could really use the help of an expert, let alone ROGER CLEVELAND, to help me figure out exactly what I need to be able to play them on my full shots, as well as all my short game shots. My current wedges are great clubs, but I could really use some wedges that are designed to be able to help me do exactly what I want to do with them. I believe that replacing my wedges with some that are built just for me would be the biggest improvement I could make to my game while only changing whats in the bag. It doesn't hurt that the grooves on my 60 degree are getting REALLY worn down

Thanks to GolfWRX and Mr. Cleveland for such a great offer. Pretty amazing really!

[DRGJR72]

AWESOME....wedges done by Roger Cleveland himself. That is just amazing. This would be an incredible opportunity to work with a living legend. I would want these wedges because there is no doubt in my mind that they would improve my wedge play and save me strokes, something that I will need if I am going to make a run at the Mid-Am.

Being a former professional I well aware of the contributions Roger has made to the game. Winning this contest and having the ability to work with him on my own custom wedges would be a dream come true. Something that very few people will ever get a chance to experience.

What a great contest. Thanks WRX and Thank You Roger Cleveland.

[j0npeterson]

I would love to have a set of these wedges because it's so rare that lefties get a real chance to use a true set of custom wedges.

As an everyman, it would be awesome to have one of the best working to get you into a truly personal set of wedges!

I'm crossing my fingers and my toes!

Thanks GWRX!

[Triplebogey16]

I'll play...

I currently don't have wedges...I played a sweet set of xtours that I ground myself last year. I had two sets and both were worn. Currently I am in the market and winning a set from a guy that I idol as a grinder myself. I would like to see what the best can do and compare my work to his. I have never been actually "fit" I grind until it feels right. I feel as though a custom ground set would help me advance my game for the next season in hopes of getting down to scratch.

Thanks to WRX for the opportunity and good luck to all of those who are entering!!!

[bunana3]

Wow, Thanks Mr. Cleveland and WRX.

I am very loyal to my 54* X-Tour and I would love the opportunity to have a set of wedges custom ground for me. Out of all the clubs in my bag, I am the pickiest about my wedges.

Thanks again.

[HHGC]

Regardless of who wins these, I think just about everyone on this site would say it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for an ordinary person, who gets great enjoyment from this game and appreciates true craftsmanship, to have a work of art created by the master. Just the experience of going through the process and the interaction will be a tremendous and valued learning opportunity.

Any lost matches and bets might hurt a little less with these in the bag, but more importantly, they'd be valued as a reminder of the great times spent playing golf with close friends. Roger's insights and the explanation for his grinds will be a great asset for having wedges built in the future.

Don't know if it will compare to hanging out in Joe's garage getting fitted and having him buy me Chinese for lunch, but hey what does? Oh yeah, I went through the fitting just to get the free lunch.
Thanks for making this available to us.

[Dean NC]

I would love these.
need help with picking the right bounce, this would definately salve that problem
thanks golfwrx and callaway

[Sean2]

why i would want these wedges:

since they would be custom built i would no longer have an excuse to blame my equipment for a bad shot. :-)

on a more serious note it would be so special to get the same kind of attention as a touring pro, and me, just being a mid-handicap who has never enjoyed that kind of attention or exposure before.

[BionicMan]

If I'm going to skull the ball violently across the green with my wedges, it would be nice if I could blame my poor play on Roger PERSONALLY. And really, who is going to care how bad I am when they hear the story of how I got these custom wedges. I've run out of good excuses for why I'm so bad...this would be a big help. Thx.

[Johnny]

I'm in...

looking to get some new wedges soon... I'm going to make RC work, because I have a rather nasty looking grind in mind.

I've always liked older cleveland wedges designed by Roger and I also like the new callaways, but have been unable to find a OTR grind that I am comfortable with. Thus having the opportunity to get the same kind of custom treatment that a tour player gets and have one of the best of all time handcraft the grind for you is too good to be true. This is the kind of thing my short game needs right now, since I am on my 5th set of wedges this year for the lack of finding a set I truly like.

[Buzzkill]

This is a once in a life time deal for a lot of us poor folks here - words can't describe how awesome it would be with a custom set of wedges with a professional touch.

[Smokey916]

I would want/ need these wedges because my wedge game has been on a steady decline lately and I need a extra kick of confidence in my wedge game. I think these wedges would do the thing and to have a custom wedge by Mr.Cleveland would be an honor.

[bovi]

would like to thank golfwrx, Roger Cleveland & Callaway for this giveaway.

I would love to have these wedges because my game is based upon alot of wedge play and they are probably the only clubs i really get creative with on the course. The fact that they'll be ground by Roger himself is such an honour - you dont say no to a set of custom ground wedges by the man.

This incredible level of service provided by Roger really makes you feel special and gives you the confidence that nothing is lacking in your equipment. To experience the level of detail & expertise that true pros get and to know that the wedges are made for my specific needs is a great thrill and priviledge

[ianf]

I would love these wedges. Roger Cleveland is the best of the best and getting a custom wedge set from him would be the highlight of my golfing experience.

[cligityclank]

i apply for the giveaway and i would want them because my wedge game could use some assistence and i dont think there is any better way then this.


awesome contest golfwrx

[bigtedrx]

This is such an amazing opportunity! A custom fitting session with one of the greatest club designers ever! I would want to win these wedges because I would be so honored to be custom fit by someone with such imagination and creativity in golf club design. It would be the greatest privilege of my life to be able to work with Roger the way the pros do! Thanks GolfWRX! Thanks Callaway Golf! Thanks Roger Cleveland!

[RookieBlue7]

Why would I want to game a set of Roger Cleveland custom Callaway wedges? I would never have the opportunity otherwise to work with Roger outside of this one to have wedges custom made for me. I carry a single digit handicap, but let's face it, I'll never make the Tour. I have a newborn that is now 8 days old, and I have to put a roof over his head, clothes on his back, and food in his mouth. I can't afford to not work and take the time to "try" to make any of the tours and put food in his mouth. I do, however, love the game tremendously, and play it as much as possible. And I plan on passing the game on to him, and with my being able to put the roof over his head, shoes on his feet, and financial worries aside, he might be able carry out my aspirations and I'd be able to live the dream through him. What better story to be able to tell him than about the time that I had a wedge set that was custom made by a legend and innovator in the business? Even if his daddy didn't make the tour, he did get the tour treatment one time in his life. That's one reason I'd love to win these. Thanks WRX.
