What is your all time favorite Par 3 hole, Par 4 hole, and Par 5 hole.

Pictures and descriptions are highly encouraged!

PAR 3

I'm going to be completely cliche but I just love TPC Sawgrass 17th.

Par 4

Turnberry Golf Course, Scotland, 9th hole.

Par 5

I couldn't find a picture but I'm pretty sure it is the 12th hole at Highland National in St. Paul. Where I got my first Par 5 birdie :-D

Any par 3, 4 or 5 at Spyglass. Pebble 3- at no. 7, 4 at no. 8, 5 at no. 6 (no, not no. 18).  Privileged to play Spyglass twice and Pebble twice.

Par 3: #16 TPC San Antonio

Yes, that is a bunker in the center of the green.

Par 4: #18 Whistling Straits "Dyeabolical"

Par 5: #18 Pebble Beach

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

I think the 17th at Sawgrass is something of a love it or hate it hole really. Most golf holes have an element of being manufactured, but nature should perhaps be the ultimate architect and this one is probably just a bit too much of a gimmick for me, although no one can deny that it's pure theatre

I can only really comment on the Scottish candidates though. I simply haven't got the familiarity with the US ones outside of the signature holes

Troon's Postage Stamp (the 8th) usually appears on any list, but I'm not so sure myth hasn't exceeded reputation here. The par 3's at Royal Dornoch are all challenging and they're probably the best group collectively. Carnoustie's 16th might be one of the tougher ones (or was). In 1975 Tom Watson played it five times and failed to make par on every attempt, albeit 245yds isn't quite the demand today that it was then. For aesthetics I might go for Kingsbarns 15th, a 212yd shot played over the sea and bringing a little bit of the character of Turnberry's ninth into play in a truncated sort of way. The 15th at North Berwick is another than has been much copied all over the world and become something of a blueprint for the short assignment. St Andrews 11th is another that frequently crops up as a classic par 3 in most discussions I've had (not completely sure I share the enthusiasm for it). I suppose for a bit of quirkiness the 5th at Prestwick is worth a mention as a curio

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
