Olympic back 9 CTTH 4th (13th)

  Would love any hints on how to get the little 7 yd green-side chip out of the rough to stop within 10 feet....

  Have tried flop, pitch, chip, punch, landing the ball *just* onto the fringe, full BS, no BS ... and it still won't stop rolling. Unless I hit the pin I don't think I have much chance so far on this hole!

  I figured out all of the front 9 ones just on the last day of the challenge! My very first go at the back 9, I got to about 4-feet on the last, I don't think I'll be getting that close ever again!

  But the 13th/4th really has me perplexed ...

  All tips most welcome!!

  try to hit the flagstick, that's how i got it under 5 ft, or just ace it :)

  I flop into the very edge of the rough.

  a 45% flop (15 yds club, full bs, aimed left and dinged), lands in the rough and stops at about 6 ft.

  Anything shorter sticks in the rough, further means longer.

  To hit the flag or to drown it will be best as said above.

  Thanks for all the replies and replay video!! Will have something now to fine-tune.

  Much appreciated!

  Now if only I remember how I hit on the 18th to 4-feet :)  Actually I'm pretty sure than landed in a similar fashion.

  Thanks alosso, misses now are about 8-feet, and shaved the hole both sides already -- so at some point an Ace will be added I'm sure!

  Just want to make sure my "eclectic" score eventually gets in front of the did-it-in-a-single-round Leaderboard leader : )  That's my aim with the CTTH challenges!

  You're welcome - I owe it to a Legend in my CC!

  And a nice goal BTW - I'm happy when there is a white "best score" for one hole on the scorecard on most of my rounds, didn't compare the overall best to a leader yet :)

  @Olympic's back nine, I try to get the diamond accuracy CTTH award - looks like a good opportunity.
