Hi all, when I built the course I closely followed PDGA guidelines for setting par. Hole #7 on the new course comes close to reaching the suggested distance for a Par 4 but is short by about 40 ft and I have called it a Par 3. Because it is a dogleg uphill shot to the right and then a long throw afterwards through the woods it is a very difficult Par 3 at best, and it has been suggested that a poll be taken amongst the pro players as far as it being a par 3 or 4, and then set it as such.
So, in the pro players opinions, it is a Par 3 or Par 4?
thanks
