  @YJ

  Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it. 

  Might as well throw in Merion 13 and make it a 3-fer. That's an 8i punch, spin against the wind.  ;-)

  That one, I remember! I think I saw you post that quite some time ago. Ever since then, I've used that shot on that hole.

  I had a downhill 180 yard shot into a 28-30 MPH wind. So, you would think with it being 7 yards downhill you'd play it at around 190, right?

  If you play downhill shots like they are longer than shots on the same elevation- you will outdrive them every time.  Probably what happened on that first shot you described - as it was likely well downhill, right?
