  There is still one hole that I can't get close to.

  The hole is 152 yards over a trap from a fairway lie.

  I tried full spin on a 6 iron (153-yard) a knocked down 5 iron and various combinations under different wind conditions.  But the closest I've ever gotten to that hole is about 20ft.  Is there any magic anyone knows to get close to this hole.

      My best results have come with a head wind of about 8 to 10mph. Basically this gives the ball a chance to land softly without alot of roll. I hit it about 163 with full bs and hope for the best. My best is around 8ft. otherwise I`m at 20 to 25ft. Good luck!
