100 Yard Par 4

[jp5]

Today only, on the PGA Tour!

"Due to unplayable fairway due to rain on #14 @attbyronnelson, the par-4 hole will play roughly at 100 yards in R2. Still a par-4. #PGATour"

Most players I imagine would be disappointed with anything less than an eagle

Haha! That's ridiculous, but also somehow brilliant!

I hear this will be installed on the front of the green

Has this done before?

I sincerely hope someone gets a hole in one

Not that I'm aware of.

Only one player ever on the PGA to score a hole in one on a par-4, could all change today!

Question is. What's the SI and do I get 2 shots?:whoo:

 

[srixon 1]

Probably still a par 4 because the score cards are all pre printed.

LOL! Exactly what I'd be thinking!:rofl:

Has been changed to a par 3, well that fun didn't last long.

But par is now 69 so let's hope for a run at a 59!

Pity as the 14th is one of the few memorable holes on the course.

Makes it as worthwhile as a HIO on a 100 yard par 4.
You see 10 under rounds every other week on the PGA.....

I think the muted reaction from the players says it all. That's a bit of a joke really.

What can you do though if the fairway is uplayable?

Reduce the hole to a par 3 for a start. Keeping it as a par 4 is just farcical.

I thought it had been changed? See JP5's post above

My apologies! I missread the caption on the You Tube clip!

It doesn't make any difference whether they call it a par 3 or a par 4, the lowest number of strokes still wins.

Great HIO from Woodland, but he almost looked embarrassed
