I agree. Personally I think that you should always challenge yourself. Shooting a 54 at the Tac is a great goal, and something to work for. Shooting a 60 or under is a somewhat decent round for any Gold or Silver player. It seems too easy to raise the the par for those that need to feel better about their game. During a PDGA event ratings are based off of the SSA and the field correct? Not course "par". Somebody please correct me if I'm incorrect. I'm not sure there is an answer for this debate. The way I see it is their are 2 types of golfers those that break 60 and those that don't. I can see some argument why some would want it changed to 60. But really, it's about progessing yourself and your game, and Seatac is all about making you a better golfer. Frankly par shouldn't matter if you are playing for fun, and changing par because the course is tough is for golfers that I personally think don't want to challenge themselves. You play the course and in events play the field, not the par..If you want to change it to 4's great, fine, but that will never make you a better player. It will only give you some artifical feeling of accomplishment for the drive home.
