Help on hole no. 2 in Best of Putting Challenge.

  Hi, I have been trying and enjoying the new putting closest to the hole challenge but for the life of me I cannot work out how to get close on hole no. 2. The closest I have managed is 7.7 feet I think. Because it is near the start I play the first 2 holes and then restart to try and work out how to get close but the slope of the green keeps throwing the ball away from the hole.

  Any tips would be much appreciated.

  Thanks, catonic.

  unconventional...but...when you're jst messing about with it...try a 50 yard wedge aimed into the fringe...just  hair under full.....My closest with the wedge is 6" when it hit the hole and popped off to the side (would have been about 4-5 feet past.)

  I can consistently get inside 5 feet but difficult to get it in the hole.

  On fast greens, I aim well left at the tree off the green and hit it a couple of clicks early.  If you are playing safe I hit it 62 feet on the meter, if I'm trying to make it I go 66 feet on the meter.  Saw it made yesterday with a putter and a wedge.  I don't use the wedge shot, don't think that is sporting in a putting challenge.

  I have yet to make it but it can be done as I witnessed it.
