When your ball comes to rest against the collar or fringe, it can be almost impossible to play the shot with a putter. Instead, select a sand wedge and grip the club with your normal putting grip.

The fringe is usually not too wide -- perhaps a couple of feet. So putting from the fringe itself entails adding only a slight amount of extra speed to the putt. Roughly speaking, a foot of fringe is worth a foot and a half of green.

WHEN YOU HAVE LOTS OF FRINGE, AND NOT MUCH GREEN: Then try this: For those people who practice little or not at all, this is a fool-proof method. Suppose there is 20 feet between the ball and the hole, but the first 4 or 5 feet is fringe.
I suggest if your lie is manicured light fringe, baked hardpan or a pressure situation, use the putter. The ball seems to generally get closer to the hole when it's running low to the ground.
Let's say you're just off the green - not in the fringe but just beyond it in slightly thicker grass. You have a shot of about 10 metres. Most people would call it a chip, but I never view it that way.
A bump and run is a shot that lands over the fringe and less than a third of the way to the hole and then rolls or "runs" the rest of the way. It's ideal in windy, firm conditions or when there are no bunkers guarding the front of the green.
He got out of the bunker, but the ball rolled way past the hole, and ended up in the fringe of the green, above the cup; his return putt was now 30 feet downhill.
Grain is mostly seen on the fringe of the green. Putts with grain roll faster and farther, against the grain slower and not so far. Check from both sides of your ball as well as behind the ball when lining up.
30.If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker.
32.Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.
Every shot pleases someone.
When the ball is nestled against the long grass on the fringe of the green, try a "bellied wedge" stroke. Use a sand wedge and your regular putting stroke and hit the ball's equator with the leading edge of the club.
