    Well said tightrope, last comment first paragraph..

    Romax, I find your first comment hilarious, communist indeed.

    Putt for dough, wedge for wimps!!   I'm saying no more, I will now start compiling my petition, with some compromises, but bottom line (pardon the pun)  putting only in putting competitions.

    Oh and btw, I must mention, one of the players who I am sure was wedging when he won our previous putting putting tourneys, he didn't finish in the top three. 32 players entered, 29 played. Top ten finishers below and won by a Tour Pro I'm delighted to say.

    Romax:
    FFS Tightrope..... U make it sound like the people that have practiced the wedge and made it work can only do that and not putt. I putt lots....like 54.000 times so far I think. The point is, it's a matter of choice. Nothing more. 

    Seriously, you still do not understand what I am saying? You can use your wedge as much as you want, I seriously do not care, but I do NOT want you or anyone to use them in any putting competition  in which I take part!

    Since you are, I simply ignore the putting comps, but I do suggest that WGT add the option to make putting tourneys for me. Where the wedges have to be left at the door.

    Its a putting competition doh!!

    I think this might prove that putting (only using the putter) in CTTH tournaments can not only work, but would be much more popular if WGT made the changes.

     

    I assume with your communist opinion, that a wedge only competition would be absolutely unheard of ?? After all, the bottom line on shot preference is up to the player with the club in hand, isn't it ? To dictate what clubs can or cannot be used on any part of the course is ludicrous. 

     

    What's next ??  Driver or 3wood only from the tee ? I have aced every hole on the putting competition with both the wedge and with the putter with the exception of 2 and 8, which so far have been only aced with the wedge. The point is, that I can do it with whatever shot I chose to hit, and that choice remains mine. Democracy rules !

    Maybe an additional competition, in addition to current format.  Certainly the option of a truly putting only one is an idea for those that want the option. IMO more choice always a good thing.  Until then what you want and what other's want differ, and you are both within the rules!

    Without getting too caught up in politics, (we get enough of that here in real life)  I'd love to hear Romax's definition of what communism is.  

    Please don't say a red under the bed, with a putter!  :-)

    Perhaps "dictatorship" may have been a better choice of words to describe the situation My vision of communism is when all goods are owned collectively. Since I bought all my own equipment with money I worked for, It annoys me when someone tells me how and when I may use it..

    You play the game in whatever way makes you happy and I shall do the same.Whether we agree with each others methods is irrelavant. I may even get a new putter and some fancy new balls. I don't need permission for that either. Do I... Fidel ?

    Your statement on June 30  ..{ I'm  saying no more } , didn't mean much did it ? I was sooooo looking forward to that....... Oh well.

    Reads as if you are typing using a wedge as well.
