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.

If you let me hit 773 yards in any direction, yeah. In a specific direction, prolly not...

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

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
