rehill:First of all, no matter how you cut it, it remains a bogey hole.
Not true. It's not a birdie hole for most. :)
To the OP, you have to get the good wind to be effective on your second shot. If not, play for a lay-up shot, and if your good with a wedge, it's a for sure par, even from the ruff.
nivlac made a putt from the top side of green, it may still be on his profile. Birdie can be achieved. Bollox can show you how to stop the ball using the edge of the ruff just off the green, and watch it roll within 3'. tibbets was good at it too. Practice that shot.
In any event, practice makes perfect.
