As for 7, hitting over trees has never been a problem for me. If I'm short I lay up, but if I catch the hill on the left side and have a decent lie, I'm probably in range.
Firstly yes they do make it...............dont forget they hit the ball longer and use less club to get to the green. Often hitting high 3-4 irons which they cut , fade draw whichever they like. I lay up too

On 7 its more gamble as the trees covering the front left side of the green and the trees to the left are a pain. so Lay up there is smarter.
