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.

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

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By 4zim ·

      Thanks everyone. I’ll likely play this hole a few times over the summer and will report back.    A sick little one plus Mother’s Day may have changed the likelihood that I’ll get to test the approach this weekend though.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, our HCP #1 is a longer par 5 (No.3). It's a big wide open hole but has large fairway bunkers that come into play on at least two of the first three shots for shorter hitters. So it's long and treacherous enough (due to bunkers) for shorter or slightly crooked hitters. Par is a great score. For long and straightish hitters (typically lower caps) the bunkers are not in play on either shots. It's simply a high percentage birdie hole for them.

      Day 9 (10 May 24) - Played 18 with a good friend and one of his coworkers.  Was not a solid scoring round, but lots of opportunites for course management. Had a blast as we truly "got our money's worth" as my friend jokingly said.  Had some solid shots and finished the round with a solid birdie on 17 (the only really good hole of the day).

      I always wonder when people say they "tried" a golf swing out. I thought I had a topic on it, but when I searched DuckDuckGo for "trying" a golf swing or method limited to this site… "trying"+a+golf+swing+or+method+site:thesandtrap.com at DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified. This very topic was the first search result. 🤣
