Putting From The Fringe...a most important tip!
If you have a good lie from the fringe of the green, use your putter,
there is less room for error! --From The Putting Edge booklet, 1998.
To support my tip, the following comment was made on National television
by Ken Venturi, former U. S. Open Champion, P. G. A. Tour Player and Analyst...
"If you have a good lie on the fringe, always use your putter...a missed putt
will come closer to the hole than a missed chip! "---Ken Venturi, June 8, 2002.
Always use your putter whenever the conditions are perfect for it---there's less room for error!

And as Tiger puts it...PLAY THE TEXAS WEDGE..."Your putter is an underrated weapon from off
the green...mine won me the British Open at St. Andrews! On lengthy putts from the fringe,
I make a long, rhythmic stroke back and through. You should putt instead of chip when the
situation favors it." ---Tiger Woods ...From Play The Texas Wedge (Golf Digest, October 2005)

2001 U. S. Open: On the last playoff hole in sudden-death, Retief Goosen selected his
putter for his approach shot from off the green. His ball was at the bottom of a hilly
slope about 60-75 feet from the green, typically a chip shot; however, the grass from his
ball to the green was cut very short which made ideal conditions for his putter. His long
putt up the hill was close enough for his tap-in win!
