  MrFunnyWobbl:

  Any ball/club combo that can hold an approach to the right pin on 7?

  I only go for it if I've been lucky enough to have a TW off the tee and am therefore pretty close. Even then, I usually end up with a 9 - 10 foot putt. Landing in the fringe or just shy is a nightmare, as the slope rockets the ball across the green.

  I use the Vapor irons, but my Cally doesn't have extra spin, so maybe if I could get used to a spinny Nike, I'd try it more often, but that would probably throw off playing the other holes. Not worth it to me to try to get one stroke off. 

  My two cents.

  Your iron/BB and ball combo would quite comfortably provided its not a L-R wind off the tee.

  Adaputter. Thanks for your support, so kind of you. I do find their thoughts helpful and appreciate it very much. I take no offence at all.

  But I do thank you again for your support.  Gary

  Yeah not sure why my question would be misconstrued as some quarrel with gary or his info. Just asking if it is possible. Big fan of the pinhunters site have used it a lot in learning the game thus far and going forward.

  Excellent work as always Gary - Will be used by many
  
  All I got are two words: Sasquatch
  
  Perhaps adding the hole # that greasy feller is hiding in/around might help prevent some paranormal panic attack for fellow WGTers in the future. But my thinking is only what hole, or maybe even just which set of holes (front/back). Too many of us spent 5 years looking for him so newbies should have to "stumble" upon him as those before them & whatnots.
