Disaster!

And I do mean a Bad Star!

My TaylorMade 56 degree sand iron with its lovely 15 degrees of bounce has started to flake the chrome in the hitting area!  It was a minor blemish and then it grew.  Now it's about 1/4 inch long and fairly sharp.  You wouldn't want to run your finger across it.

I took it to Golf Galaxy and the guy there wouldn't even look at it.  "That's what edges do." 

Well, humpf.  Now for a new equipment search.  The really sad thing is I had read about not using the 60 degree wedge and moving to 56 for all around the green shots.  I've been doing that for the last couple of rounds and it seemed to be working pretty well.

Sigh, the shrug.  It's always something...
