  A bit on the long side, but this shows the green can be reached this way. I clicked a little bit earlier than i would have liked as well.

  Sure did Hwei. When taking the shot, i use the camera behind the flag on the green to line it up. I aim for just off the green, around 5 yards or something like that. I still try to click just before the ding line, and it usually ends up around there somewhere. I havent actually landed on the green from that shot yet (that replay is on the fringe), but i reckon its there for the taking with a better shot.

  Hmmm tried it and lost a ball.  lol 

  I swear I put full backspin on it but was too scared to try it again. Maybe when my ball wear gets low I'll give it another shot. Maybe it's also another perk of that new super oban shaft driver. lol

  Wow Hwei, did you not add backspin to your shot, or was it the tailwind that made the ball go low?

  It's a shot I try when there isn't much ball life left.

  Can just restart a back 9 and have a go at it.

  I wouldn't do it with a newish ball.

  I never apply backspin as that seems to put it straight into the tree.

  Worth a bit more play to see if I can get it on the green. I've got a few birds from it.
