  I,m confused did you take the spin off the wedges when you are on the fringe? 

  I don't think so G,  had a chip from the fringe and the spin dot was still there,  but on the green there is no spin dot on the ball just like when you putt.

  The only club that should be allowed on the green is the putter ,

   chipping on the green all the time is cheating .

   

  Check the rules of golf.

   

  I know the rules of golf already ,  you should learn how to respect the game and other players .

  Any club can be used on the green (it clearly says so in the rules of golf)....so I fail to see an issue....it has diddly to do with respect.

  People use  wedges on the greens????

  Well, blow me down with a feather, it never occurred to me, other than when I go long on BPB 15. Oh well, now that it's "de riguer, I better get with the program and start tearing up the greens, and the beauty is, I don't have any old references to overcome.

  Baloney. It has everything to do with respecting the game of golf. A gamer will use whatever means necessary to one up the system. A true aficianado of the game WILL respect that this isn't how the real game is played.

  This is a video game, not GOLF. I do not respect you, or your play, get real. Play the game how YOU want, maybe try that and quit worrying about garnering virtual "respect".  Respect the game indeed, lets make the rules same as real life then, and no, you cannot take away my spin in rl either.  This is about as silly as it gets, trying to make it more "fair" for the rest? Like they couldn't use a wedge on the green? No , the problem is they were jealous they couldn't figure it out, or pull it off consistently.  Just another case of WGT catering to the pansies.

  I just played a quik 3 hole practice round, chole'd all 3 holes with me wedge, thank you wgt! it is much easier to play the shot without spin, 1 avatar movement less, and aim right at the hole!  Thank you again, love it, one less thing to click and adjust now.

  Yes it's easier now they took the bs off, an im all for it. There is skill in putting, but also skill in chipping....so why not use it on the green??
