  courteneyfish:

  I guess you need the R11's. With my clubs I just head for the middle of the fairway, then go for the eagle.

  YankeeJim:

  And if you miss long, the return is a CTTH shot, a very makeable pitch, chip or flop for eagle.  :-)

  IMO this is the best approach for BP 4.

  Going off to the side fairway, leaves you a fairly steep left to right slope.

  Off the back is a straight uphill. Far easier.

  I'm a sucker for punishment, so I ALWAYS try to keep it on the green on approach.  It has worked 3 times in my career - and I have made 2 eagles by putting here.  Everytime I have kept it on the green, shot was into a headwind, with Nikes and R11 clubs on full backspin.
