I'll nail my colours to the mast.
I'm no fan of the 200 and stupid yard par 3s that we see so many of nowadays. There are plenty of times during a round when it's necessary to open your shoulders and rip it, but for me not on a Par 3.
I see them as a mental challenge and ideally played with a mid to short iron, and if the course designer has done their job correctly they should be no less daunting than a big ignorant slosh with the heavy artillery.
We have 4 on our home track none over 175 yards and they're all tricky for a variety of reasons
I realise of course, as with everything in life, and indeed golf, there are two sides to this coin and I'm just wondering what others think on this subject.
