2011. A biography in stone. Typology, age, function and meaning of Early neolithic perforated wedges in the Netherlands
A BIOGRAPHY IN STONE Typology, age, function and meaning of Early Neolithic perforated wedges in the Netherlands T his monograph explores the biography of an enigmatic type of material culture: the perforated wedges from the Early Neolithic (c. 5000-4000 cal. BC) in northwestern Europe. These themes are explored in a multi-facetted approach which compares the finds from three regions: the so-called source societies in Germany where the wedges were produced and two areas in which these items are found as a result of exchange. It concerns southern Scandinavia (the Ertebølle culture) and the Netherlands (the Swifterbant culture). Daan Raemaekers is professor in the archaeology of prehistoric and protohistoric northwestern Europe at the University of Groningen. His research interests are Neolithic material culture and society and the archaeological heritage managements of the Stone Age. university of 9 789059 403833 GAS 14 groningen groningen institute of archaeolog

Who Is Bob Vokey
The craftsman behind the club craft.
THE TRUE
MASTER CRAFTSMAN
BEHIND VOKEY'S
HIGH-PERFORMANCE
WEDGES.
He's learned from some of the world's greatest players, watching and listening to what they seek in overall wedge performance and look and feel, to create wedges that perform under the most challenging course conditions.
Like Father, Like Son
Craftsmanship runs in the family.
Bob was born in Canada in 1939. His father, Walter, was a precision tool and die maker, an avid golfer and constant tinkerer of golf equipment. Bob did not necessarily share his father's passion for golf as a child, but he observed and assisted in his father's club creations.

Despite his earlier feelings toward golf, he became smitten with the game and wanted to become involved in some way. He lived near a golf course, and started to play competitively, eventually developing his father's passion for "tinkering" with golf clubs.

How an approach wedge fits into your wedge set, and how you use it, can depend. Let's take a closer look. An approach wedge is also known as a gap wedge or an A wedge, depending on the manufacturer. The purpose behind the approach wedge is to fill the yardage gap between your pitching wedge and your sand wedge. When the pitching wedge lofts dropped into the mid-low 40s but the sand wedge loft remained in the mid-50s, the need for an approach wedge was born. The versatility of a gap wedge can make it a very useful club throughout your round. Depending on what obstacles, if any, are in front of you, having this wedge is ideal for everything from par 3s to pitch shots. Iron lofts as a whole have changed dramatically over the years. For instance, today's 7-iron loft is similar to that of a 5-iron from ten years ago. Changes in both head and shaft technology have allowed i
