Taking Par Off of the Scorecard

[Doug Siebert]

Three 500+ yard holes in a row is quite interesting.  Regardless of what par they might play at today (or on a given day depending on the wind, etc.) given that its an older course it seems like the course was designed with three consecutive three shotters.  Not sure I've ever seen that before, although a course in the area here goes 4,4,3,5,3,5,5,3,4 on the back nine...

Doug, my home course in college, Riverside CA's Victoria Club, is a bit more extreme. 4,3,4,3,5,5,3,5,5 on the back nine. Not many courses where you'll find four par five in a five hole stretch, and no par fours in the last six.
