  Any tips on how to get your approach to stay on the green here ? This par 5 is short but the increase in elevation makes it almost impossible to hold the green

  You mean hole #4, right?

  Play your approach to the left and let it roll back down off the slope behind the hole.  Use full backspin.

  Pretty much what SamSpayed pointed out. There's a steep run-off area, behind and/or above the hole, usually it's just short of the pin. Depending on my angle of attack, I will sometimes aim for that spot. Most times it will roll back down near the pin. If it hangs, I'll flop my LW. Easy bird and a good chance for easy eagle. 

  Wind controls much of how to approach this hole. If there's a decent headwind, I go right at the flag.
