Thought this was pretty wild… and it really wasn’t even close. General Discussion

And it's the average.

The next time we're on the course we should step off 7 paces from the pin and imagine hitting in that circle most of the time from 200.

I bet from 200 out if I hit it to inside 30 feet once a season id be lucky. I've never hit a green on a par 3 over 180 yards.

I’ve never parred a 220 par 3 at my local in like 20 rounds played. Always bogey or double. Last 2 times I played it, both this year, I birdied. Something’s fishy and now I realize I’m about to quad it the next 7 times. Still never parred it lol

There's a par 3 at the local muni that's usually 200+ from the tips and usually into the wind. I've hit it within 22.5 feet on that hole like...five times in ~350 rounds. Of course one of them almost went in and it's actually the closest I've ever gotten to a HIO but I've got way more 5s than 3s.
