    I played it just elevation 68 down. It was almost on green!

    Played this hole yesterday in the current showdown.  Wind was 10-12 at 1 o'clock on a clockface.  194 - 23yds (68ft) is 171yds.  I hit 165 with full bs on a cheap WGT ball (with negligible 1.0 distance and zero spin)... and the ball flew 203yds into the rough at the back of the green.  That's nearly 40yds further than the distance for the club with what is only a moderate wind, a cheap low-distance ball, and full bs which should decrease the hitting distance even further.

    So, what is this 83ft elevation drop that has been mentioned?  Is that just a guess because 68ft didn't work, or is that the figure we're supposed to use in tailwinds?

    I'm thinking you may have forgot to change the club from the 195 to the 165.  I've done this thinking I changed the club but clicked in another area and the club must have stayed the same.  Only reason I'm thinking this happened to you is the distance the ball flew.

    I think I know what I'm doing!  Yes I did change it to the 165 club.

    WGT - isn't it about time you fixed the elevation issue!!!

    I just used a six iron(180). I used the 68 down (-22.66) math, from 194, slight adjustment foe 12 mph cross wind, 170 total yards /180= 95%; it landed pin high 12 feet wide. 

    The math is down 68 ft. divided by 3 =12.66 yards. 194-12.66 = 181.34

    Adjust for wind
