  Yes, a number of times. I usually try with a r-l moderate or stronger wind.  It either runs through the green or comes up short in more rough. I hit the far bunker once.

  The downside of trying is there's no real reward for hitting it.  It comes in so fast from the bounce it doesn't think about stopping on the green. Then you get to deal with greenside rough at PB, which is extremely punitive and on that green, saving par becomes difficult after the eagle try you were looking for.  LOL

  yes, many times sometimes i hit it and other times I miss. One good thing if you hit it, it will bounce past the green and you can aim for the fringe above the hole and it will run down toward the flag

  Had plenty of cracks at that, all with varying but consistently bad results.

  Yep, but unless u run through the green, u're pretty much dead meat with that hole location.

  High risk/low reward. Why?

  Or you could hit fairway. Play second to right of hole and let it feed down to hole for birdie putt.

  Not worth risk...same as Congo 9.

  Only Andies 18 worth going for path.

  Don't really find Congo 9 much of a risk .. The 3rd from the bottom if u miss isn't too hard..

  You`re spot on as rough there aint too bad at all, but i really meant if you do hit it, ive seen a funny replay in our club from a member who hit the path and nearly broke a window ;-)
