    Hello All , I am mostly a Mobile App player and have noticed a huge increase in the number of Players using the WEDGE PUTT in the coin rooms , mostly in the Big rooms like BELAGIO, MANHATTAN 

    Now I know how to do it and have used it in Club Tourneys when faced with a 50 foot putt on Tournament speed greens with 2 Breaks or More and it works quite well BUT not in the coin rooms because if your opponent does not know how to use, in most cases ,its an unfair advantage !

    Im guessing this is Legal to use because WGT has not corrected this glitch! or is it a GLITCH ?

    Any thoughts out there ?

    It's by the official RL Rules of Golf, and it has been enabled = legal by this WGT program - so why change anything?

    If you deem it an advantage, get used it by practicing!

    @Rick6208

    Since you posted the same thing twice, I'll follow suit. 

    While you appear to have got the answer you're looking for, I just want to note that there is no "unfair advantage."

    An unfair advantage is not created simply because a player doesn't know how to use a particular tool or how to execute a specific shot. The player could learn it.

    An unfair advantage is when one player can use the tool or has the ability to make a certain type of shot but the other player is prevented from doing so by something external to the player.
