783 yrd Par 6 on Challenge Tour

[Slab]

Interesting reading and while not common I wonder if we need any at all or is this a good thing and I'm missing something

Something a little bit different. Has created a bit of interest which the event would probably have not received.

Certainly a bit unusual but then so would a 50 yrd par2 and that wouldn't take 20 minutes to play it

I like the read, one player Drive, 3 wood, 3 wood, 2 putts for Birdie.

I played a par 6 in Denmark over 20 years which 640m ish and I hit driver, 3 wood, 3 wood chip and a putt birdie. Weird.
Never seen one since

I think it's a great idea for the pros.

Getting them to hit driver and two three woods from the deck is cool to watch.

Pros are not forced to hit enough fairway woods for my liking.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Interesting idea but with distances getting longer on holes anyway I can see this sadly become more common

 

[One Planer]

Drive and a flick

What's the point in it, I just don't get it. So you stand on the tee, hit driver, 3w, 3w and you will be somewhere near.or on the green. Why not just take a couple of hundred yards off it and have a long par 5. Par 6 holes are just a pointless entity that just adds an extra 3w shot on a hole.

 

[garyinderry]

Have you ever seen some pros with a wood in their hand.

They make me look accurate.


Pointless for your average hacker admittedly.

that was who I was aiming at, Mr average club golfer. Forget forum averages and all that, 230 is a good knock for a lot of club golfers off the tee. Then a 3w is 210, so drive and 2 well hit 3 woods would get them 650 yards down the hole and that is if they catch all 3 spot on. I just hope that par 6s don't start to creep onto your average golf course. I think those holes would turn into a slow play magnet when you get people trying to hack there way down it.

Leaving 130yds for a wedge for gir? What's the problem?

Or knock 300 yards off and make it another par 4.

It's a novelty hole. Something out of the ordinary and to remember.
