    If you go to my profile, check my saved replays. You will find an older eagle that shows an example of one way to get a handle on how it plays.

    I take a little off for the left pin but add a little for the right one. With the right don't forget to aim a little to the left to counteract the slope.

    Sorry, disregared this...I guess I erased it...Howerver, what it showed was the front pin location you mentioned. It is aimed perhaps 10 ft to the left of the pin and lands on top of the green, front edge then rolls down. Back-spin is a must. I plan on about one club less. But beware, Par is sweet and easy birdies come dear.

    Short and let it roll down

    Or slam dunk

    But a par is a good score

    Leaving the ball left or right of the hole results in ugly cross-slopes.

    Quite a safe par, even with minor clubs, is to aim straight at the flag and a few yds short, accept a roll past the hole as long as it stays on the green. From there, the hole plays quite straight up. Aim a little right, leave it 2 ft short and tap in.

    The only thing I would add to the already good advice given is off the tee I hit my drive as left in the fairway as I dare depending on the wind. The fairway left approach seems to use the green slope the best when landing short and a little left of the pin. From the middle or right of the fairway the green slope just doesn't feed the ball as well directly at the hole.
