  We have all read the posts on Pitch, Punch, Flop or Full shot, some of them can get quite heated up and funny to read.....lol

  Why not show others different ways to do things.

  Rsg #3  Long par3 and can be a pain at times with the winds.  Most of time I stop on the bottom Tier or go way over flag at back of green.

  Look outside the box...   and try the Punch shot using the driver off the tee

  I have the top level R1 and using the top level Nike Balls...  this replay on standard greens 6-8 wind at 20 mins on clock...full B/Spin and a shorter than full on the meter

  Ended up pretty good, maybe a little less B/Spin would have been perfect...  but still have to be careful or you might go off the back of green.

  Trial and Error on any shot makes us all better

  A good tip Roger!

  It also works on RSG #11.  Though a bit riskier with my old and shorter r11 driver having to bounce through the rough and bumps.

  First shown to me by LizzieRossetti it is one of her favorite shots.

  I punched my driver once and it hasn't talked to me since ...

  Oh Yes...  I forgot to mention...  My Top Level or L93  R1 Driver has a Punch of 250yrds

  This shot also comes in handy with tee shots on a few dogleg holes off the tee, if playing safe...  or St.A with Heavy Tailwind

  Edit...    that 11th Rsg has about the same distance,   vn shot.

  Here's another one....

  On the Best of easy course.....   but you will know the hole on Rsg. I was told about this ages ago and not a bad tip to gain that little bit more distance.

  Off the Blacks...  17-19 headwind at about 35 on clock (maybe 33) and again using Top R1 driver and Nike balls.....   

  Full T/Spin.  ball skips on the ferscue ( I call it ---you...lol)  and gains a very handy, extra distance.

  Edit...  I better post the vid......    or ya's be thinking what this idiot is talking about....lol
