  Heh, nice shot, Paul, only 99 more tries to do it again.  :-D

  In my dreams Jim, more like 999!

  I think I have 3 or 4 birdies to the front pin, a mix of lucky putts and pitching in from the fringe.  Pretty sure I have none to the back pin but I have holed my approach for eagle once.

  I don't think I've ever seen the ball stop where Paul's did, it always rolls past the hole and usually off the green.

  Yup, it surprised the hell out o' me.

  This is a max ball w/ 50% top spin.

  I thought it would keep rolling away.

  That pitch is one of my favorites. Full back spin CG64 stops dead and takes a hard left to the hole. Pretty safe shot because it's not going to roll away, just get the distance right.  :-)
