  Can anyone reach this green from the master tees with anything less than 20 mph downwind?  I basically gave up hitting driver, and hit 3 wood since I am gonna lay up anyway.

  I play the hole driver, wedge, wedge. Lay up south of the bottom bunker to get an angle to the flag that takes the slope of the green out of play. You're 70-80 yds out and the green is easy to stick from there.

  I have never seen anybody reach the green in 2.

  Ive seen it hit in two on more than one ocassion. I reached it in two once with I believe a 12 tailwind. Its reachable. Just gotta know where to hit it and get lucky :)

  Leave it up tp rob to make sense. Jeez, how about I talk about the right hole-DOH!

  (I was thinking about #4 )

  To reach it in two, you have to cut the corner on your drive. This would be a lot easier if it wasn't for the ball eating tree there on the inside of the dogleg. You'll need at least a 9MPH wind to carry over it and a well struck drive. From there, you need a lot of luck to get it on the green.

  With the front pin position, it's not even worth going for it IMO.

  I'm suprised that nobody has logged a fault about the fairway infront of the green... Its like landing in a bog... no bounce or run...
