sure as long as you don't tear up the green. I've actually used a driver and a 7-iron to putt with at different times.

Absolutely YES!. The rules of golf permit you to hit a ball with any of the 14 permissible clubs in your bag. Many player including Jack Nicklaus have used a wedge on the green and the use of any club is permitted, It is just that the putter with the least possible loft works best most of the time.

You can hit a golf ball on a green with any club in your bag. There is no rule that you must not tear up the green. Some greens are kidney-shaped and it only makes sense to hit a wedge from one part to another. If you take a divot, then so be it. However, it is in the interest of the game if you preserve the green how it was when you approached it.

typically, use the motive force or a million timber off the tee and the putter on the golf eco-friendly. you should use the three and 5 woods if you're on the golf eco-friendly with a element lie and performance a fashion to bypass. so some distance because the irons, you want to both bypass play or bypass to a driving determination to decide how some distance you hit them. the genuine one is the club that is going one hundred yards; then you quite can decide some thing from that one. Use the area-to-the-eco-friendly markers on the direction and choose the club therefore. How some distance each and every club is going will determination very much searching on the participant. good luck and welcome to golfing.

Any club is allowed. In fact in the olde hickory shaft days players were not allowed to mark and remove their balls. So competitors who were "stymied" (ie, blocked from the hole by another players ball) regularly chipped over their opponets on the putting green using a wedge (niblick?). From the fringe, I often play my utility 4 iron or my 7 wood as a putter.

There's no rules against using any club. When you're dropping your ball as well: when the rule says two club length, meaning any club.. Well, long putter also counted. And I see Ernie Els measured the two club length rule with driver plus the cover as well.
Any club on the green, and probably with cover, too (forming part of the club when attached to it).

you cannot hit ball at full contact but if you leave you putter in the bag far away you can put or chip it in from any spot on the green but you have to repair your divots

Yep, no rule against it and (as already pointed out) sometimes makes sense.
You can also use your putter to drive. Loads of laughs.
