Geez. Even after a really good driver and a really good 3W, I’d still have probably a Bryson DeChambeau drive into the green. That’s one hole where I would NOT be too disappointed with a double bogey.

So...could you make it there in three?

Not saying I would, but yea, I could.

At sea level it’s probably not happening.

At elevation, yes but it would take 3 really good swings in a row.

At sea level, possibly, if I could string together a great drive and two perfect 3-woods. But the chances of that are very slim.

At sea level, it'd have to be more like a par 5! for me than a par 5.  Yes, I am making a factorial joke.

I have periodically made it to a 430 yard par-4 with driver, 4W (on one or two occasions, a hybrid second shot).  I think my longest 4W was 215 yards.  So... I'd have a wedge in for my fourth shot.  

I'm glad I accomplished the "no sixes" challenge before having to take on that hole!

I would, but birdie would definitely be tough.  I would enjoy the challenge of it for sure.

I would get there in 3 maybe a quarter of the time. I average 270 off the tee with driver, so I would need an above average driver and at least one really good 3 wood.

A lot of you guys are fooling yourselves if you think you would get there in 3. A 300 yard drive still leaves a 473 yard hole, which is a 3 shot par 5 for the vast majority of golfers. The altitude difference isn't as much as you think it is:

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Golf Ball Aerodynamics: The Effect of Altitude | Titleist - Team Titleist

If you've ever played golf on higher altitude courses like ones in Denver, Jackson Hole or Reno, you probably noticed that you were seeing some added distance to your game. ...

Add 6% to your current distance, and you'll have a rough estimate. 

For reference, the median PGA Tour player drives the ball 295 yards, which would be 313 yards at this course, with the 6% addition.

I am not familiar with that genre. I like insult comics, but I think those are now against the law.

It would be very close for me to get there in 3. 10% more distance and assuming some hard fairways. I here that there is a lot less hook or slice curve, so that helps. Looks like a fairly wide open hole.

Factorials are the product of it and all the positive integers less than it, and x factorial is written as x!.  So 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6, 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24, and 5! = 120.  So if it's a par 5! (note the placement of the ! in the original post), it's a par 120.  I might birdie it some day.

I could get home with a ripped driver and two ripped 3 woods. A gentle helping  breeze would make me less daunted but anything other then perfectly struck shots and it’s not happening. Bout a one in fifteen chance I reckon.......maybe

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
