Start replacing wedges around 75 to 100 rounds

The speaker's benchmark is that an avid golfer should start looking at their wedges around 75 to 100 rounds. As the grooves wear, the ball tends to skid up the face and fly up, coming up a little shorter, and you start losing trajectory, distance control, and spin. They note the average player often doesn't realize it because the change happens so gradually over time.
