    It's happened to me twice now. Both times, I was on a green, but a relatively long distance from the flag (20 yds, and 23 yds). The default club was the putter, which of course does not display a green dot on the ball; however, I decided to flop a wedge. I selected the wedge, aimed the shot and cursed over to move the dot down and it was not there. I switched back and forth from the putter to the wedge (and other irons), back to the putter, back to the wedge, etc. etc. The dot never appeared. Both times I took the shot with the wedge. One of the shots was a full swing on the ding, and the other was about 75% and on the ding. Both shots went about 6 inches.

    It might have been there at one time in the games history but the spin dot has been removed when on the green, fringe yes, green no.  You can play shots with other clubs on the green successfully, but it's something you need to practise as the technique is different to playing on other lies.

    AFAIK, only full and punch shots may yield good results..
