#1 Don't screw up and read 22-ft rise when it's really a 22-inch rise. There are no greens that have a 22-ft rise, so you should've known that was wrong without even looking twice. Everyone screws up here and there, but it is rarely the game's fault when we do. Mistakes like that usually become less frequent as you play more. About 2 months ago, I probably made a major screw-up once every 5 rounds, but now I only mess up once every 25 rounds. Nonetheless, you're going to have to accept it and move on.
#2 You'd probably be able to shoot that well a lot more often if you had wedges, which are cheap yet extremely effective. Although the wedges that I use are level 42, 60, and 64, you can get a very good set of wedges at level 39 (93/98 yard, 77 yard, and 50 -yard Z Satins, or a larger spread with 105, 86, and 50 -yard Z Satins.) Even the wedges available at level 14 are good, but they don't offer the complete range of distances that you can get from higher-level wedges.
