It all depends on the yardage of the course. If its 7000+ from the tips don't play them unless you can hit fairways and be out around 200 yards atleast.

Let's throw out some numbers - just for argument's sake. Let's assume the average par 3 on a 7000 yard course is 190 yards and the average par 5 is 530 yards. That leaves 4120 yards for the par 4s with an average length of 412 yards.

Maybe I'm being elitist, but if a person can't reliably hit a 250 yard drive they probably can't reliably hit a 200 yard second shot. They're on the wrong tee box.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I don't know why you think I implied I have that right by any means, I just don't know how they have as much fun. I certainly didn't deny that could be more fun for them. It's not as fun for me to hit poorer shots and have a harder time making par (aka pitching/chipping in for birdie due to the hole being too long for them), however for some it may be.

I didn't think you implied anything. I was just saying that everyone has their own right to play from where they have "fun"...whatever their idea of fun is. My major point is that everyone else isn't out there to make MY DAY as enjoyable as possible, they are their to make their own day as enjoyable as possible.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

    • Day 292: light day today. Mirror work, working on getting my hips more open in the downswing.
    • Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…
    • Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well. 
    • Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress.
