  My question is how on earth do you judge distance when hitting out of the sand?  I just did a closest to the pin challenge and had a ball in the sand with a good lie.  Distance to the pin was 48 yards, club meter showed 96 yards at 100 %.  I went back just past 75% and the ball traveled a whopping 20 yards???

  I see you have started a couple of threads asking questions about the game.

  You'll find a lot of advice on this website.

  Good luck, hit 'em well.

  Must be one of holes at Edgewood.. Not one to play much of ctth or blitz, but shots in them play bit different to actual games.. Also that 2-5% lie isn't really a correct display I believe.. Plays worse than 30-40 irl...

  What was the lie in the sand?

  15% to 20%? 30% to 40%? 40% to 50%?

  Was the ball lower than the hole?

  Did you use the ball spin the caddy set or did you adjust it?
