    I hit the ball in the rough about 10-12 yards to the left of the pin (front placement).  From there, it's an easy flop and a sure birdie putt, if not eagle flop.

    First remember that there are two active pin placements for that hole.

    The traditional one is middle of the green slightly to the left side.  The other is the front left placement that is very difficult to get close to.

    Wind is a huge factor of course as well as where you hit from.  The Legend tees give you a pretty long shot in, some skill in landing just over the front of the green to the left will roll down at the hole moving to the right.  You can also bail out 25 feet right of the pin, it stops better on that line.

    The up pin is a crap shoot.  From 200 out you pretty much have to land it short and let it run down to the pin unless you have a good wind in your face.  I generally just play long and figure I can two putt for a birdie on the front pin.  Back pin I play more aggressive knowing that even if I go long it's an easy 2 putt.
