Why can't I stop or draw a wedge shot on green?

  using a wedge on the green is not against the rules but it's a clear indicator if a player chooses to do so is that they simply putt like crap, learn to putt, better scores will follow and when in mp player against player is a test of each player's ability across all aspects of the game.

  To purposely avoid a putt with a tricky break is a cop out

  Draw and fade aren't available on WGT yet.

  Of course they are possible.......although ONLY with the woods and not with the irons.

  I have tried all tricks to hit a draw or fade with the irons or wedges, just simply impossible, at maximum meter hit (dark blue area), ball flies straight but never making the "curve" as with the woods. It is very clear the draw (and even hook) or fade (and even slide) with the woods; driver or 3 wood.

  In reality you can draw or fade also with irons. Do not understand why you can not do it here at WGT when it is possible to do it with the woods.!!??

  Hole 4 at Congressional is just impossible to land your approach close to the flag if strong wind from left-right, the branches from three on the left side of the green simply catches any direct approach to flag. Same hole, you can easily avoid the three in front of the legends tee with a draw and the same wind conditions.

  Probably not like you're thinking.

  So would you say that Zach Johnson (below) and Phil Mickelson were cop outs? Just Sayin

  I would say to do it this well takes a lot of skill (no divot)
