Mal - I think you are playing the wrong (right??) courses if you don't need a sand wedge. For the amount of time I use mine, you'd think I was playing on the beach

.QUOTE]

I don't know a good utility wedge, well balanced and your ability to control a nice even swing and a SW really isn't necessary. I have a JAWS wedge and I can play that thing anywhere. Mainly because you have to remember golf is 90% mental and 10% concentration.

I'm not the longest hitter (I can drive maybe 225-250), but my short game and putting are my strengths. I know that once I'm pulling out my 6-W I'm hitting the ball with control and straight. So I let my drives fly, and on long par 4's and 5's if I land in the rough I mid-short (usually 6-7) iron out onto the fairway, then use my fairway wood to get in range (if need be), chip and putt.

Point is I go in to a course knowing my game plan and I play the plan.
