What is allowed and is it depending on course?
You are allowed to use any club on the green, but flops just don't work, and the only other shot other than putt that will work is a wedge, full swing. The Satin Z 64 will hit about 27 yards on the green dinged. If you are on the fringe, you are NOT on the green, even though the caddy will put a putter in your hand. All shots with wedges will work from the fringe, but the flop is easiest. I rarely putt from the fringe unless only an inch or two to the green because the amount of putt power to add because of the green is hard to figure, at least for me. Play a practice game and try everything since it won't count against your average. It doesn't seem to matter what course although they all have unique characteristics which you will have to discover on your own.
