   That hole just got much tougher if laying up in front of the bunker is that bug prone.

   

  I've not tried laying up there in a loooong time, I try to shoot the gap between the bunker and rough on the left...

   

  Still will wind up in the rough (on either side) or the bunker, but either of the 3 shots are much more predictable, and put my mind at ease;)

  Yes indeed.

  You seen the way I play.  Course management is usually something that happens to others LOL.  If I can go for a golden shot I will and to hell with the consequences:)  Try and stifle it a bit in alt shot, but even there my nature gets the better of me sometimes.

  Playing that RG I thought just for once just frikin play it safe.  Easy stuff just short of the flippin bunker, and nice easy one in I thought...........ORF at a 45 degrees my punch went.....50 credit RG I was gone after watching my flop skid far away out of the 40/50.........

  I guess i could see the slope on SA causing an issue...but this was long before UEL was intro'ed.

  Long before UEL was even thought about I had this shot in the 2010 VUSO. I still get a laugh every time I watch it. I sent a bug report in at the time(gave me time to cool off, lol) and then pared the hole and moved on. FYI, I left the aim on the pin and dinged it, full power wedge.

  I`ve had others that acted like UEL on Oak also...maybe they Were thinking about it then :-).

  For some (WGT) reason I can`t seem to get the link to work. It`s the last replay on my profile page "90 degree turns and stones in fairway".
