    Can someone please explain how...when the pin is back right...on #1 at Oakmont, down hill with the wind and some backspin not alot come up 35 feet short!  Then the put is straight down the hill 4 inches and lightning fast. Yet on your approach it seems like it hits uphill...not sure how that is?

    The elevation drop that you have to take into account when then pin is in the forward position plays differently with the back pin. With the longer iron you have to use you shouldn't allow for as much drop. That green slopes right to left and that back position is the highest part of it.
