This is less common than a longer par, but can happen when a hazard, dogleg or fairway feature makes the "ideal" shot for the given distance unwise. For instance, take a 460-yard level hole with a nice big pond across the entire fairway from 260 yards to 320. The ideal tee shot for 460 yards would be a nice long drive (275 or better), but to make that work here your drive better carry 320+ yards in the air. Instead, the smart play is the 3-wood for two shots and a wedge to approach, making it a par-5. | |
