how it's used in a sentence
You're gonna need a Texas Wedge for that one!
origin
Since Texas is known for hot, dry, and firm conditions which are difficult to hit chip and pitch shots off, the Texas Wedge became a replacement for hitting those difficult shots. Instead, the golfer can hit a putt, which is a much easier shot.
