    Attacking that pin is off the table from the rough. Your best chance is to land high right on the fringe and trickle down to the pin. Or come in wide right and roll up to it from the side. It has to roll right of the pin or it just rolls away. Getting enough carry out of that rough is tough because you're going in without brakes.

    The problem is, the pin is on the edge of a bad downward roll and anything short is rolling down and away. Anything rolling too hard from the right does the same thing. Guess you know that by now. LOL

    I have had success in the regular game and that pin by landing in the rough to the right of the green and rolling up to the pin but that's from fairway where spin works. That rough and being closer is forcing you to finesse the shot in.

     

    *edit-This will give you an idea of how to get there. This was a CG100W with 1/2 top spin, hit full. Backing off the swing a little probably gets closer.

    To get that really close I think I would have to get really lucky and hit the pin to stop it.

    Use your pw and punch shot . The pw has a 4.5 spin which is the same as the cleveland wedges . The pw full is 120 yrds but punches at 103 - 108 depending on green speed and spin being used .
