  Would you please fix that tee shot into the wind. Nothing more frustrating than having a good round going  than to get there and have the wind in your face, knowing you can't hit the fairway. Please don't give me the "hit it to the left fairway" speech. 10 yd wide stretch with OB Left. This is a flaw In the game that should be addressed.

  I feel your pain.

  I'm not saying that spin can 'fix everything' but in a few circumstances you may get a few more yards.  Sometimes TS may cause problems* so use with discretion.

   

   

  * rough before the fairway

  #7 is nasty with Starters, once a player leaves the front tee as a Pro.

  I see two options:

  - take it as a man, lay up before the bunker and put the third on the green - Par or Bogey resulting.

  - buy yourself a driver or a 3WD, R11 or another good one. 3WDs are much cheaper than drivers, still probably longer than the Starter driver - it may be sufficient in most winds.

  Just had it happen again. Great game WGT. At least make it fair. Had a great round going until that darn hole!

  don't buy any more wgt brand crap.
  level up some 10 levels or so and get the good stuff,
  or if you can't wait that long, get the "ok" stuff
  that will carry you onto the fairway.

  I can't believe they're still selling these "tour pro" starter junk clubs
  they used to give out for free when you'd tier up to.."tour pro", whatta rip off.

  Well that's the answer  if you want to par the hole until you get a longer driver

  I don't see a problem with it...I just played it from the red tees with a helping wind and drove the green!

   

   

   

  just messing with ya...

  you gotta buy a better driver or deal with it, it's as simple as that...the hole is more than fair with the right equipment and designed to "make you get better equipment"

  that is actually a fun hole to play from the back tees....
