  hi

  right pin I assume? if so, 2 things I play for... 20-30ft below the hole and slightly right. not long, left, or long - that's death!

  yes the right pin icon, thankyou to you for coming to my aid.. yes i have made the mistake of going long and also hitting to much right..

  both times i managed to save par with a good pitch, i also find my self having to pull off an all mighty putt to save par too.

  if i could just birdie that hole i am starting like oakmont alot and worked out most of the other holes.

  I prefer the front bunker. Easy sand shot that gives the most pars and birdies once it is memorized...it doesn't change

  I have had the most success running the ball into that pin instead of trying to fly it in with bs.  The trick is getting the yardage right and possibly using top spin to help it up the hill.
