Patrick, no. Just, no.
You have to be honest about what you're doing. You are saying for there to be one set of tees - the tips, I originally assumed, but maybe you meant "the tees I happen to like." You are telling a 20 handicapper to play a course that was meant to be played in 1 shot in 2 because he can't do it. This has nothing to do with par. The hole was designed to play a certain way, to make certain interesting shots possible. If the high handicapper can't execute those interesting shots, making him execute other, uninteresting shots, is going to bore him. None of this has anything to do with par. For my argument, par is irrelevant - you're using it as some boogeyman.
I didn't think your argument merited a point by point response, because it missed the point. But for your own satisfaction?
"As to the 220 yard Par 3, how did that hole get to 220 yards ?
It was built 5 years ago. It's Oakmont. Not sure why it matters.
Could you name five holes with heroic forced carries so that I can get a better understanding of your premise ?
Grand National Lake, 3rd Hole (175 over water)
Medinah #3, 2nd Hole (192 over water)
Capitol Hill (Judge) #16 (256 over water)
Point O Woods #9 (192 over water)
Crooked Stick #6 (183 over water)
"can tell you what that 20 handicapper ISN'T supposed to do.
And, that's hitting the green or anywhere near the green in regulation."
The average 20 handicapper hits 4-5 greens in regulation.
"Since when do 20 handicappers "execute" something ?"
He's certainly supposed to try. And enjoys it, even if he doesn't succeed as much.
Why should he have a right of entitlement to hit a club he's comfortable with ?
He's not entitled to anything, he's not entitled to play golf. The point I was trying to say, is if you do something that makes golf miserable and boring to him, he's not going to play golf. As I said, if that's what you WANT, then we just have different goals.
