The Difficult Par 3s

photo credit: nsaplayer Many amateurs have a misconception about Par 3 golf holes, they are over-confident because they think their short length makes them easier, not so !
You have one shot to get on the green in “regulation,” miss the green and your looking at a bogey. To give yourself a chance for a birdie, your first shot has to be good. There are no second chances on Par 3s.
Facing a longer than average Par 3, say 200 yds. or more, it’s “bogey city” for most amateurs. Even on a longish par four, with a good drive, you may be looking at an approach shot of 150 to 170 yards, much more feasible for most players.
Don’t be complacent on Par 3s they can reach out and bite you !
Some golfers relax when they get to a par three golf hole, not me. They
are the toughest holes on the course in my view.
Thanks for your comment !
