    An idiot is someone who tries the same thing in the same way and hopes for different results. I'm an idiot

    The 2nd at St Andrews is my Nemesis. If I get it to 20 feet away, I celebrate.  Getting the ball there less than 10 feet? HELP!

    Well it depends on the pin position but the real problem with the left one is that if you hit the downslope you're going to roll by so you have to minimise the roll out and stop the ball really quickly. To be honest you might find that the G20s with a Max ball don't quite have the spin to do it.

    in a head wind or slight cross head wind its pretty easy, you just have to fire at the pin confidently no trying to land a bit short and be cute just full spin and full club preferably

    let the slope help after it lands, works a treat.

    nice shot  but as stated earlier (the harder pin placement)

    Another way to get it fairly close. Been advised plenty of times how to do it... finally got it right. Normal par hole for me.
