I'm all for short holes, particularly par 3's,
but the idea that a 142 yard into the wind par three is tougher than a 195 yarder is delusional.
(but then the USGA told us for years that the ball wasn't going measurably farther either)
More interesting and more variety yes, but tougher no.
and who gets more practice hitting short irons into holes, Bubba or Pavin?
Will Pavin even qualify?
