Par?
Kev or anybody else.
What does par mean on a course like this?
I hear all these players describing the greens like it is some bizarre putt-putt course where you can end up further away from the hole than you started on every putt. Surely the USGA or whatever can get more creative than making sure there is no flat part on a concrete green and then putting the hole at the top of one of the numerous mounts on the green. Thats to easy to make "hard".
Dont you try and make a course with the intent of making it challenging and playable. When no one has a real possibility of breaking par on a course (assuming it does not rain) what the heck does par mean? I dont like watching people constantly trying to lag putts and hardly ever trying to actually make a long to medium range putt. Do people really like to watch a winner come in at 10 over...? What is so special about that?
I dont want to see a course where everyone and their mother can birdie all the holes, but I dont like seeing a course that plays to luck either. The greens seem absurd based on what I have read.
