I was wondering how so many players could get so low scores on the putting greens in the putting tourneys. Is this down to the accuracy of their wedge play?
If players are seeking an advantage by using the wedge in putting competitions here, -especially on very long putts- why have the putter in the bag at all if that's the case?
Although their is no rule against using any club on the green in real
golf, if the wedge was used in the pro game to the extent that it's
used on WGT, would it be tolerated if players were seen to gain an
unfair advantage, ie: as in the long putter controversy?
It's called putting, not wedging. Isn't it against the spirit of the game?
I hope WGT do the right thing, and restrict players to using the putter only in 'putting blitzs' and if possible, in all WGT games.
I am considering starting a petition on WGT to try get this changed. What do you think, would you sign it?
