  Roughly speaking, double the yardage and hit a full shot wedge.

  I'm not the best to advise you I very rarely use it,not sure about the longer wedges. the really long ones I still putt.

  I play that blitz with only wedges, an iron on #8 and a driver on #9. For #8...on fast speed greens, it plays right at about 120 yards with a full shot...depending on your iron set, that may be a full R11 PW, or, a slightly less than full 9 iron. Wind and green speed factor as well. Play the wind as you would any other iron approach...very fast or tourney speed both require a reduction in distance...very fast is roughly 116--ish..tourney is roughly 111--ish...I've holed every shot in that blitz with a wedge (including #8) and a few with driver...good luck.

  It's possible to shoot below 20 feet using a wedge only on the second challenge (Olympic #13) ... and I concur with the others on yardage... approximately double the yardage.

  Add or subtract some for elevation... a few tries should get a baseline number.

  Good luck...
