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 !
