  It's a tough hole,I will always take a Par and run.

  I've practiced this hole so many times I can't remember.  I think I have the front pin sussed, but with the back pin there's a hair's breadth in strength between 4 yds short and 4 yards long.  Also anything a fraction right or left runs further away right or left.

  It's easier to find an honest estate agent (realtor in US) than it is to get it close!

  played this hole approx 30- 35 times in the past few days and it is a brutal pin!...any miss ding and you may forget about the bird. Any crosswind makes it very difficult but if you have a headwind, i found that 3/4 of the wind strength added to the dist to pin with fb worked pretty well as shown :)
