Back to Back Par 5s as Closing Both Nines
Mike_Clayton:
With no wind both 8 (490y) and 18 (510y) are drivers and short irons for pros now.
And, the two hickory woods Ryan hit onto 18 were super impressive - way more impressive than bombing the modern stuff 340 and hitting a wedge.

Thanks for the nice words, Pete.
Matthew Rose:
Back to back par 5s seem more common in Australia compared to the US, at least in my observation. I have played YY and I saw Victoria whilst attending an Oz Open there, although they were playing #8 as a long four.
The last course I played was Mandalay north of Melbourne, which has b2b fives at 16 and 17.

Ive never seen this, and it wouldn’t really matter for stroke play. Hole handicapping in triads for match play could be a challenge, though.

I’ve played many golf courses and I don’t think I’ve ever played a combo like that.
I have played two courses with 3 consecutive par 5s.

Wow I don't think I have played any with that combo. Where were they Joe?
