And if the hole is 440 as a 2-shotter today to the center of the green, that means it was 405 back then to the center of the green (440 - 35 = 405), which would make it 382 to the front of the green from the tips, and about 375 to from the tips to clear the quarry even if a pansy-waist hitter at Merion who drives it 220 was playing the tippy tips. Face it, Mike, this was never an insurmountable second shot, even for a panty waist from the tips.
Shiv, where are you getting that 35 yards from?
I agree, Andy, but they're all pretty close no matter which combination of 3 shots you use. The first time I did it, I came up with 433 on the button, though. And remember, this is all to the center of the green.
Yep, I think you are right and I got the same results as you, but I am leery of saying 'this is the spot' when I can make that spot be in different locations if I try.
