   The distance is listed as 171 on the card but everytime I play that hole it plays 150 and when i drag the aim bar over the hole on the zoom in angle it also gives me a reading of 150 or 151.

  Anyone else notice this?

   It's 171 in whatever normal pin positon.  It's actually 157 and use backspin and a 5 iron. Plays to a 5 iron with almost full backspin.  Keep the ball to the right of the flag and it'll roll left toward the flag.  You have to be dead on accurate with your tee shot.

   There's a little red dot on the ball in the lower right hand corner.  Move it down for backspin, up for topspin.
