  Hello, just wondering if anyone could give me a few tips on how to play #18 on Chamber Bay. I always end up long with a 50ft downhill putt. If I try to land it short it will still skip up off the front fringe & end up long. If I land it at the hole it will still roll well pass the hole & end up on the upper section of the green. I realize its usually a 230-245yd shot so there wont be much back spin to help stop the ball.    Any advise would be appreciated, Thanks    Kody

  I don't think you can get any closer with the ping driver but if you can get to 3i distance staying well right of the flag seems to catch the upslope better and rolls back to a pretty easy eagle putt...for me anyway!

  I don't even try to go at it with a wood, it's a pretty easy birdie putt anywhere near the pin, inside of 12ft, I just lay up to a good wedge for a sure birdie....coming off that mound behind and left of the flag makes it a tough birdie, even brings par into play...

  A higher spin ball would REALLY help too...
