Yes, I remember watching Phil Mickelson once use a lob wedge on one of the greens at St Andrews (Scotland), he was on the green but was still about 40-50 yards away from the pin.

some places have interior of sight rules that don't enable something different than a putter. Phil Mickelson hit a wedge from one facet of the fairway, over a bunker (interior the fairway) to the hollow. The announcers pronounced there become a close-by rule to maintain amateurs from doing that, yet they lifted it for the PGA. nevertheless criminal, in case you have been to do it in some places around the Atlantic, anticipate to pay attention some boo-birds. they do no longer take too kindly to that, for despite reason. As a private tip: try it consisting of your hybrid, in case you carry one. grip down close to the shaft and swing it like a putter. I examine it in golfing magazine, and it works notably sturdy for me. Plus, the only of the hybrid coupled with the swing help to all yet get rid of any probability of unfavourable the fairway.

Yes any club is ok to use on the green.
Ben Crenshaw ( I think) once broke his putter and then used his sand wedge for the rest of the round, as you are not allowed to change.

If it is in your bag you can use it! You can even drive from the tee with a sand wedge if you like.
