  Hi

  I don't know whether its me or a bug, I had great difficulty getting my ball out of the rough on the bank in front of the green, it appears to be thick short grass, suggested club was LW, two hits moved the ball a couple of feet each time, switched to SW exactly same problem, finally reached the very edge of the rough after five shots, pitched up to hole with no problem.

  Is it me?  Mike

  Nope, everyone is struggling in those places. Similar situation in the green-fronting rough at the par 5 hole 4.

  not sure how since the wind blows my ball into the rough no matter how good my shot is...then my divet always goes farther than a perfect chip...most of the time twice before I can get on the green...

  J,

  for #15 BPB my best play is to the rough center the 2 front bunkers...this is typically about 11 yards from the pin...from there its a relatively simple starter LW flop, just aim about 8 feet left and hit it full strength.

  No, you're not.. just look at AvatarLee's last replay ... .Putting out on 15 from the top of the hill.

   

  It can be done.

  that shot has gotta be 1 in 100 to make or worse odds, im just saying realistically if u wanna have a nice chance at par stay short and flop her up

  lol.. I completely agree... probably closer to 1/10,000...

  It is cool, though.
