  Just bear in mind that the 56 plays 102 yds. Very handy to remember at times.

  It's all good though. Love this game.

  And to Bunny's comment above...YO Bunny...no chit the RL game plays different.  If we could steer balls in RL like we do on here we'd be on the PGA Tour.  Instead, we have an opportunity to hone things here (and play out of our ass).  I don't *** and gripe as I enjoy the subtle nuances of the game.  It makes me tilt my head like an inquisitive dog just as much as on a RL course.  Except on a RL course I know what went awry...my swing...my mental process, etc. etc. etc.  On here...idk sometimes.

  EDIT: It makes we tilt my head like a perplexed dog...I even feel bewildered at times. :-)

  1) Bandon Dunes and the pin is 116Y. I hit 56 (100Y) Cleveland w/ full top spin with a 19-21 mph wind behind me. I think it is a great shot, especially after the carry is 117Y. It hops back and then rolls all the way back to 12 yards short off of that hill. (I saved the video) The next one is the opposite.

  Big elevation drop, so the ball has more bite and spins with the natural slope of the green.

  No comment on the one at the noncey course.

  If the green speed was 12.  I would have divided (33+14)/4= 12 (roughly) and then subtract that form the beginning total of 47. Therefore, 47-12 = 35. With 14" upslope I might add 2 for 37.  This would be 8 less than your 45 and might have been spot on.  Sometimes you need to chart greens for indifferent speeds etc.
