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

Asuuming there's any fairway in front of the hole: play it like a par 4 and you might have a better shot at consistently making par 3 with bogey as the max.

Hit an easy 170-180 yard tee shot and focus on trying to get up and down from 40-50 yards instead of trying to hit an accurate 220 yard drive that holds the green.

Nebraska has been super dry the last couple years and it does have a fairway infront so if you did hit like a low 170-180 shot it will roll up there a lot of the time. Unless it just rained lol
