Is that allowed in real golf? I'll await to be chastised for implying TGC is not real! you could use a driver on the green if you want, I've seen a 3 wood used, in a 3 club comp

How many times has professional golfer sent his putter swimming when he stuffs up a putt, then has to put another club. The answer is 21. ? Look at the putting stats for CC-B.... nudge nudge wink wink

Is there a reason why the grid doesn't always cover the whole green, in particular where you have a very long putt? Find that frustrating at times.

The green grid only extends out but so far, for any settings.

The green grid is high on memory usage so it has to be restricted.

Because greens can be massive, if they had the grid on all of the green at all times, it would slow down the game significantly, especially on consoles. They are looking at possibly having a situation where you can click on an area of green that has no grid and it one would pop up so long as you are holding the button, but this is a while away.

Sadly the tour had to make the decision of no chipping on the green because people were exploiting it to avoid putting long and large swinging putts. A few bad apples n all that jazz.
I do wish we could amend it to allow it when you are on a green with a severe up-slope and you are far-far away and even with max power you can't get up the slope and it keeps rolling down the hill. Thankfully I have seen this only on practice and haven't had it arise in tourney play. The other time I'd like to see it is if we are beyond the grid.
I would suggest that flopping would be disallowed but hey you want to chip with an 8 iron.. go for it. Much harder to control distance and more realistic when it comes to Rl.

I had that happen to me in tournament play. In fact, it was last week, with Dr. Yeti's Course From Hell.
I would ilke to see some kind of reasonable restriction put in place. I saw a guy once have a 160 foot putt. A 53 yard putt. That's just stupid.
Perhaps something that says if you're within 75 feet of the hole you can't chip. Or if you're "on the grid". Something that doesn't take a guy who's caught on the wrong end of a megagreen with an uphill slope and basically hanging them out to dry.

There's a few holes where I would consider putting at an angle towards the side fringe just to avoid coming back down. So hard to commit to that though because I often convince myself that I can make it to the hole.

So hard to commit to that though because I often convince myself that I can make it to the hole. I had one hole where in practice I knew i couldn't get up there. I was 80ish feet away with 4 feet elevation and had to go across two rises. In practice I tried many times and never could get it up to the hole and all but one of the attempts the ball rolled back to my feet but NOT off the green. The one attempt it stayed on the first rise barely cause I putted just hard enough to get it up there. In the tourney I putted over the first rise at an angle and made it to the fringe. I flopped up and took a bogey and was pretty upset. As a Ranger now, I'm looking for these types of situations in the courses we play. I have seen probably a dozen courses with spots like this. Will it happen during a tournament, probably not but with this rule in place we should have no green that you can't reach the hole with a putt. We have the ability to change the hole location if such a situation arises.

IDK, RL golf presents opportunities whereby it is nearly impossible to reach the hole with a putt, I think why not here also!
Maybe this thinking is wrong, however with Thousand Islands, hole #2, short par 5, on 1 of the setups, It is extremely possible to be left with a putt that will not get to the hole. I designed the hole to have a not so obvious risk going for it in 2. I see nothing wrong with that, however I also see the multi-pin was rejected, so I'm likely and as usual, just wrong in my thinking. :-)
