As it is bad to punish the weaker player with forced carries they can not manage, it is equally bad to FORCE lay-ups for the bigger hitter.
Carl,
I don’t believe that’s a logical conclusion.
If the weak player can’t carry the hazard he has no choice but to go home, the stronger player can still keep playing by - laying up.
I also don’t believe there should be any restricting rules of golf course architecture, written or unwritten, that all Par 4’s and 5s should allow driver of the tee.
In a round of golf on a Par 72 course there are usually 14 Par4’s and 5’s.
Surely you don’t avocate that off 18 Tees you should have the right to take the Driver 14 times?
