From greenside sand, most golfers have thoughts of urgency, even desperation: How do I get out of here? Yes, getting up and down is the goal, but up and out is a win for many of us. Enter “emergency wedges.” These one-trick ponies, such as Ping’s BunkR or Cleveland’s Smart Sole, are designed for that singular task, achieved through ample bounce and a clubface that tends to stay square. Consider this: There are PGA Tour players who save par out of the sand only a third of the time, and folks, you’re not on the PGA Tour. Give these a try. Bunker Busters
