so ext time hit straight for the pin and see what happens
Actually, I would hit just past the pin. I have burners, and I have birdied that hole from every tee box,every wind, and every position. For the leftpin, try to land just a tad past the hole: into the wind it will stck and you will have a 3 fter uphill, downwind, you should get close enough to the green to hit a wedge, and those will stick downwindif not back up and you will have 3 ft uphill or less. For the right pin into the wind, I play 5 yds pastand left of the pin and back it off of the fringe behind the pin and it will endup close. Downwind, you will be close enough to hit a wedge, but I do not recomend bahind because wedges skip and the spin, going too far befor coming back. I land them as close to the hole as possible and just makeit stick. you need to learn the ins and outs of how St. Andrews works-basically controllingthe bounce and where the ball lands- to understand the approach. I used to play to the top and it leadto mehating the hole- but now it is an interesting strategic test to see how well I can plan the hole. Hope this helps!
