There's a 520 yard PAR 4 at US Open

Date: June 15th, 2018 1:24 AM Author: sienna supple den stain Stupid. Predictably there's more people who got bogeys and doubles than pars. What's the point of calling a par 5 a par 4. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4002577&forum_id=2#36249620) |

Date: June 15th, 2018 1:29 AM Author: sienna supple den stain I think the average pro has a 285ish yard drive. And they aren't hitting them dead straight on average. So that's like a 240 yard fairway wood to be on green in regulation. Stupid. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4002577&forum_id=2#36249632) |

Date: June 15th, 2018 12:01 PM Author: Umber Piazza Therapy no, it's not true. par just means pefect play assuming two putts per hole.
I think there was a US Open or some other tournament that had a 280 yard par 3 or something like that. That's what's really stupid. |

Date: June 15th, 2018 12:01 PM Author: Slimy university quadroon These fairways are firm and the tee shot is likely down hill. They carry 285 + roll they're easily over 300.
Holding the greens/missing fairways is the big issue at Shinnecock |

basically you have a huge increase from 2000-2003 due to the Pro-V1 and then smaller increases due to driver technology which then plateaued in 2005. |

|
Date: June 15th, 2018 1:35 PM Author: sienna supple den stain Given that almost as many pros were double bogeying the hole as getting a par on it, I think it's safe to say the average pro did not have a sub 200 second shot to green (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4002577&forum_id=2#36251753) |
|
Date: June 15th, 2018 1:41 PM Author: insane walnut pisswyrm crotch rd 1: 62 pars, 29 doubles. or "almost as many" doubles as pars.
and it looks like it's 536 yds, not 520 per op. so, yeah, 2nd shot within 200 is probably a stretch for most |

nothing wrong with a long ass par 4 with unless theres no way to run it up to the green.
whats dumb is a par 5 where everyone's hitting 5 iron second shots. |

the US Open is supposed to be the toughest challenge of the PGA Tour.
this is no waste management open.
at least 100 pga pros average roughly 300 off the tee, and no doubt, as said above, this particular par 4 is downhill with firm fairways. they're not going to make it impossible to hit the green in 2 strokes, but they are going to punish you for poor shots. |

Date: June 15th, 2018 1:46 PM Author: bespoke thriller wagecucks karate I have no problem with a couple par 4s being extra long. The entire field has to deal with it.
This is no different than an average player having to play a 420-440 yard par four. It's hard. People struggle because it requires two long and straight shots.
I like seeing pro's challenged and struggling sometimes. Makes it more relatable. |

Date: June 15th, 2018 2:05 PM Author: Judgmental corn cake Why not make it a par 3 then? I have no problem making it more challenging but the way they’re trying to do it by just making it longer is dumb (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4002577&forum_id=2#36252000) |
