  Priestess, I have the same issues with that hole most of the time.  I'm thinking that my drive was yet another one of those fabulous WGT deviances.  I see deviances on pretty much every Par 3.  BPB seems to be the worst for it.

  Hole 8 is tough, but fun. It actually plays 275+ because it's down-hill, and the 278 yard driver full with mid backspin is my choice set-up. It usually leaves me about 15 to 20 feet out, or just in the rough behind the Flag. Barring I hit my mark on the meter bar of course.  : )
