    You can cut the far left side of the bunker with the wind from your back leaving around 145 to pin.   

    Cheers

    I played this one today with a tailwind of about 14 mph and still didn't make it.  In fact I have tried it about 10 times with no sucess at all.  I play the master tees and I am using a R9 master driver and good balls.  Exactly where is that sweet spot.

    Look closely at Andy's picture, Tar... you'll see where his ball bounced.

    (forgive the crude drawing, but you can see where the fariway is and where the ball bounces..)

    Thanks all.  After looking at the drawing that Snaike put up, it is obvious that I am not playing the ball far enough to the left to carry this little bit of fairway.  I end up in the rough or top of the trap, I'll try it and leave it out to the left more.
