  borntobesting:

  # 10 Olympic punch shot with driver full B/S leaves  you in the fairway no more than 135 to the pin and often much closer.

  I'll go try that now...

  Immediate thought is  " gonna t*wat every branch " with the R/L wind..;))

  We'll see.....

  EDIT1.. What are the chances..5 L/R winds so far..

  Thank fook it's the 1st hole    ;))

  ED2  1st punch drive, very edge of the gap in tree...hit the trunk it seems so might go through ?? replay.aspx?ID=91991964 e258 4989 bee8 a90a00e106b9

  ED3 aimed in between the gap in trees on left..replay.aspx?ID=76c9f924 b09b 4be1 b6c4 a90a00e1f43f  NOPE!

  ED4  Aimed ON the trunk of the tree in the gap...replay.aspx?ID=2abb0c4f da6b 4e0f af18 a90a00e2bf00

  No way a drive punch even gets near the hole in the trees...the loft takes it into the BAD stuff !!!

  USE A 3 WOOD  !! 

  Sorry BTB..on a par with your "does the putt % count in MP?"  question  ;)))

  Olympic does have some tricky ones.  I generally know where to aim my shots now to avoid the trees.  The problem is, I usually remember just after I’ve hit and am watching the ball head straight for where I should be avoiding.
