Bethpage-3

  Can anyone give me some tips for this hole?

  If I land the ball anywhere on the green, the ball shoots off the green - sometimes in one bounce. Even landing on the front  fringe with full backspin sees the ball disappear over the edge of the back. If I land before the green, the ball just stops dead in rough, Whatever I do seems to leave  me with a horrible second shot.

  Is there a magic club that works well for this hole?

  Balls with  spin  and irons  with high trajectory stop the ball quickly

  A nice Nike ball and a good club might look something like this.   (dazza501's replay)

  Individual results may vary.  :D

  Did that ball have nails embedded in it? The contrast between that and what I do is unreal.

  I think I'll have to do some surveys.
