What's the secret to getting an eagle on the 14th from the ladies tees? Anyone willing to share the secret LOL

Really? OK i will bite.....rotate your golfer to the pin
and depending on the pin location choose either a flopped driver, a 2 wood, or a 3 wood adjusted for green conditions. Would add hit snap but your playing ammy.

Edit; even punched a 3 wood clears the bushes.

With the pin position we were given I rotated to the pin and used a flop 3W. My 3W default distance is 260 yrds and flop is 254. I think I had 3 gimmes and a 5 ft putt.

Cheers Steve. Was sure I had tried that and failed but maybe not LOLOLOLOL
One round to go so I’ll definitely try it.

Thanks Steve. I did something unusual and went to practice. Just this T shot. My 3W set up is the same as yours so I went for a flop and a big hit and every time it ended up short. Must have hit the trees but I don't have any sound so not 100% sure. Whacked the driver once and it found the green. So that's what I did in the round and it went to 9 feet LOL

Roy, make sure your testing with the Resort version and not the LS or 2010 ones.

Wow had no idea about a different version. It was the LS version I played for the tournament.
Just had a look at the other newer version. Makes my question about the 14th a complete nonsense. On the LS version there’s no way you can aim at the pin and not hit the trees off the T.
The first is tricky too on LS as you need move on the T and fade one to miss the trees and the putt I was left with was always a nightmare. The greens on LS are also incredibly bendy compared to the newer version. Must remember all this for the next time,…..I probably won’t
