What is a texas wedge?

A Texas wedge refers to a golf shot where a player uses a putter to hit the ball from off the green, typically in a situation where a pitching wedge or other club would be traditionally used. This type of shot is generally used when the player is close enough to the green that they can putt but doesn't have enough green to work with to use a traditional chip shot. The term "Texas wedge" is believed to have originated in Texas, where the firm and fast greens require players to use a putter from off the green more frequently than in other regions. Using a putter in this situation can help the player keep the ball low to the ground and control the speed and rollout more effectively than with a lofted club.
