  the RULES are "any club on any surface" What is there to not understand????

  It's one thing to be right. It's a whole different thing respecting the game as it was meant to be played.

  I agree Jim, as I said in another thread somewhere, "Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should do it" 

  The shot should be the exception not the rule. As when you are obstructed, or the line to the hole in interrupted by something, or its a 150ft putt over multiple breaks and elevations.

  Using it cause you can't putt for S*** is not respecting the game!!!!

  OMG when I was at Mare Island in the Navy in 1973 I had a '66 389 4bbl Automatic. When you really punched it the gas gauge would move LOL. Drove it too hard and threw a rod, couldn't afford to fix it. 

  Wish I had the forethought to keep it.

  while it may be a legal shot in real golf, it is very seldom used although i have seen it. But the way it's being used on this site, especially when money is involved is plain and simple wussy golf. Knuckleheads using it for damn near every putt except the shortest. The local courses around here would have your ass in jail if they caught you doing it on every green for every putt. Learn how to fricken putt !

  In accordance with USGA rules it allowed and thus since this site follows USGA rules it is therefore legal. I personally have seen Phil Mikelson use a wedge on the green as did someone recently during the event that tiger won if I remember correctly.

  When somebody beats me putting with a wedge, maybe I'll give it a try.  So far i haven't seen anyone beat a good flat stick.  Virtual divots aren't the issue.  Strokes are the issue.  If you putt with a wedge, what are your putting stats???
