245 yard par 4. Put it on the back fringe with a 3-wood a few years ago. It was one of those short and tight courses with a lot of hilly undulations.

EDIT: Almost forgot, I birdied it.

The longest green I have driven was my senior year in high school golf event at our home course on #6 314 yard par 4. I drove it on to the green 30 feet from the cup and two putted for a bird.



If you see the tallest tree staright a head the green is just to the right of it. By the way it was slightly raining when I drove the green.

At a course i play often, there is an uphill par 4 listed at 297. I have driven this green to many times to count and put a few over the green. About 2 weeks into the season, someone aced it.

I've also been very close to driving a 340 par 4 at the same course. Multiple times I've been under 6 feet from the front of the green but never put it on.

I think the yardages are messed up at the course though.

The longest green I've driven was about 55 yards. That's a pretty long green - I don't know if I've ever played a course with a longer green.

I think the hole measured 180 yards. Hmmm.

I have only ever driven two par 4 greens. The first was #4 at Clear Lakes. The card says 325 yards but it is a very elevated tee box. The second was #10 at Bryden Canyon. The card says 270 but I would think it plays a little shorter than that.

Oh, and I three putted both times!!!

C'mon now iacas, you know what I mean. Golf slang and all.

I'm sure you've driven a few long ones, huh? There's been quite a few bombs listed here and many more shorter ones, including long par 3's, and I'll bet one thing is for sure...everyone probably felt pretty good after driving that green! That's, of course, until you 3-putt...DOH!.

There are 4 short par-4s at my home club (2 different 18s) and I have driven the green multiple times on all of them. Longest one is 326 yards but it is a dogleg-left. I have never managed to eagle any of them but lots of birdies.

The best green I have ever driven was the 18th at Prestwick which is 284 yards and I did it with a 1-iron. Missed the eagle putt but made birdie.

Nope. Probably the longest I've driven is 340 yards... and it's a dogleg that's more like 295 if you hit the ball straight.

My home course (the WW one) has three par fours that are about or under 300 yards... but you don't really want to try to drive any of them.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
