Yes, two less Par 5s to make Eagles/Birdies on.

All that means is that there are 2 par 5s on the course that are called par 4s.

It's no less a feat by any means.

Can even be more imopressive.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

yeah, i looked it up and it seems like theres more 59s on par 72s and 71s.  impressive by any means.  not sure if Tigs is going to get it, he left that short birdie putt on the par 3 out there...

Why does that matter? When par is 70, you have to make two fewer birdies to get to 59 so it's all the same. Making birdies only matters when you're talking about getting to -13.

Par 70. 7,400 yards...think about that...

I understand it is difficult, I'm just saying it really doesn't matter if you call those two holes birdies or pars...a 4 gets you to the same score either way.

Oh, you're making the argument for equal difficulty. I agree. I thought you were arguing that it was easier.

Another student of the game.

Consider the length of the par 4s

You can argue Par is harder on the two converted 5s that are 4s.  Also, the opportunity to make eagle exists....it's much easier to make eagle on the green on a par 5 than eagle from the fairway on a par 4.

Regardless, my response was basically to say it's the same.

Who cares how long they are? If you're trying to get under par by a certain amount...then you're right. But it doesn't matter how many birdies you have.

If you shoot a 51 besides those two holes, you need a 4 on each of those to reach 59. It really doesn't matter whether you call that 2 birdies or 2 pars, it comes to a 59. The total is what matters, not the score relative to par.

I understand that it's harder to get par on those two holes because of how long they are, but Deryk seems to be saying that it is harder to get 59 because it is harder to birdie those holes, but that is negated by the fact that you don't need birdies on those holes to get to 59. You need a par 4, which is just as difficult as a birdie 4 if they called it a par 5.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
