pictures can be decieving on this shot you are begging to get the D correct. if you are more than 200' the pucker factor is significant. i'm not opposed to moving the basket forward (or left or right for that matter). there is plenty of excitement on this hole no matter where the pin is. perhaps a wee bit too much even.
So basically, it sounds like the challenge to begin with is just hitting the island in the first place? Wow.
No not really. Having played the hole i can say that if you BOOOOOM a drive, BOOOOM another drive, and all goes perfect on your 1st and 2nd shot then you are faced with a 400-450' downhill shot onto the island. Most people would lay up, but a few may go for it.

The 2 times i have played it, i messed up either my 1st or 2nd shot, and by the time you are shooting for the island on your 4th shot, it's a much more managable 150-250' shot. Then a one putt for a 5 on the hole.

Two tries for me, 2 5's for me. VERY HAPPY with that.
