For the first time in about 4 years I actually had to use a wedge on a green in real life yesterday. Pin cut tight on the right. I put my shot on the green but on the wrong level, on the right edge. Severe right to left mound coming off the raised trap lip. Using putter would have required me to putt the ball off the green, through the fringe, through about 1 1/2" rough and the trap, too.
60* wedge and no divot later, ball popped up onto the fringe on the other side of the mound and ran up about 7' above the hole. Good thing the wedge was uphill because there was no way to get spin on that shot.
And then I missed the 7 footer.
