HamdenPro:
Nope, you can still use wedges on the green. You have to set it for full wedge and hit power for 200% (yes- 200%) of distance. Good luck and let us know what you think.
I have a friend who uses his wedge all the time, on the greens, which, personally, I do not approve, unless long putts, like over 80' on St A's, but it works for him.
Ha! I couldn't have planned this better.
Last night, in a coin game match, 17th hole St. Andrews. Think it was 17, the hole with blind drive over building. My wind driven drive ended up in brush with the horrible lie. I only managed to get to the front of that kidney shaped green. Of course the perfect scenario with a big chunk of rough between my ball and the pin 90 feet away. No way could I putt anywhere near the flag. Being as my opponent was likely going to win anyway perfect conditions to try the full 60 yard wedge shot. If I could manage par, at least he'd have to make a five footer to win.
You called it HP, I hit a full wedge (net 30 yds on green) over the rough and the ball ended up about 6 ft from the cup which I sank for par. Opponent congratulated me on saving par while making his bird. So nice to know that option is available. It's like a new weapon in the golf bag. Thanks.
