  Somebody asked before how to use it.....

  30yrd putt, using my C64 Wedge, Full B/Spin, Full Shot(60yrd)... Ding and Nike Ball. Depending on wind most of the time this would be awfully close to the hole if not in. I have also used it for a 16yrd Putt and that's about a 3 Qtr swing. Just remember wind and roll on green will affect this shot too.

  The wedge shot on the green also counts as 1 putt on your card. Takes a bit of practice.

  It doesn't follow that just because someone uses a wedge on a green they can't putt. It just makes sense to use the club that is best suited for the shot.

   

  Like this one.

  It's very easy to see, even in an online game,  who has class and who will steal, cheat, and pimp out their sister for a buck.. anything to get a cheap win.

  i agree chipping should not be allowed from the green)mainly because a can't get the hang of it lol.but i think its here to stay so just learn to deal with it.but if this game is meant to be a true reflection of real golf then the driver off the fairway should be addressed.surely a driver from fairway is a more used shot in REAL GOLF than wedge from green

  It's quite easy to see who accepts the official rules with all their options and with all means they allow, compared to those who cannot resist to make their own rules or limit the existing rules for the sake of their own limited minds.

  I like this shot IRL but I can accept that it doesn't work here. The punch with a good 3WD is powerful enough. We'll never be as perfect as Bubba to the green, neither in WGT or IRL. He played driver-driver-putt for eagle at Kapalua #18 (2011):
