  Is this an optical illusion?

  No it's real. I've been playing that one through the trees from the legend tee's also. If you do play from the blue tees it'll grab the ball like it used to. At least that's what I've noticed.

  fwiw, i don't often play at st. george, but there are a couple there that seem to put my 4-6yds behind the pin consistently.  but, that could also be the fickle wind there.

  mmm ... thats interesting .. i always play a chocked down drive that leaves me about 265-270yds down far right of fairway close to edge of 1st cut .. 

  could someone tell me what u use as your aiming point from the back tees to be able to cut through those trees on BP #2 ? and do u use spin on that drive ?

  I aim for the center of the fairway ( with no wind ) and use full back spin. I've done it many time with the Nike lv48 balls. I seem to remember trying the Srixons and getting caught in the trees though. I'll have to give the Callys a go and see what happens.

  How about the first at Olympic  ,can you cut the corner by going through the trees on the right like no.2 at bethpage?

  I think you can go right through the tree on #1 Olympic. I usually don't even move my aim marker and miss to the right. 95% of the time it lands on the fairway. Maybe more...
