Are par 3s by their very nature penal?

Well said, Jon.


All shots are "penal."  Even Moe Norman could hit a "perfect" drive and find his ball in a divot,  Moe could hit his 2nd shot from the divot only to see it hit the stick and skid to the fringe.  He could putt up to 6" and then have a brain fart like Hale Irwin at Birkdale.


The ODG(tm) guys didn't really have a clue.
