    Hello all, my first post here so I need some help from the community on this one. 

    I love taking risks in golf, ever since  I started WGT I have been trying to hit par 5's in two, and now with the right clubs, most par 5 holes are reachable in two for me, provided I hit the ding.


    Since that is not enough of a challenge anymore I have recently fallen in love with reachable par 4's. For those not familiar with the term, it is a par 4 hole that you can reach the green in your drive.

    Now there are not many but I am wondering which one's you usually consider drivable. For me

    -Hole 9 on St. Andrews: The classic and where I made 2/3 of my Eagles

    -Hole 7 on St. Andrews: I didn't consider it drivable but the other day I hit a 301 yd drive and almost nailed the green on this one. http://www.wgt.com/gameclient.aspx?view=showReplay&JSON=%257B%2522GUID%2522%253A%252293654d7a-7008-45a1-84a1-a0b900a5dd99%2522%252C%2522Brand%2522%253A%2522%2522%257D

     

    -Hole 7 on Olympic: I have yet to drive this green but I know it is reachable with a little wind or a better driver than the one I have. My current goal is to hit this green in one.

     

     

    So which par 4's do you like to drive? And what are some that you consider reachable, even if you haven't reached them yet. Stories and videos definitely appreciated.

    St Andrews 12th hole when you've had your Wheaties and the wind is following. Just missing the bunker the ball can roll right on the green. I've even gotten right next to the upper pin position with 30 mph following wind.

    I will assume you mean reachable from the back tees (because from the front tees, lots of par 4's are drivable with top Driver and top balls).

    From the back tees:

    Oakmont #17

    St Andrews 7,9,10,12,18

    St Georges 5,12

    Olympic 7

    Cabo and Whistler have 3 or 4 between them, but cant remember the hole nums (except Cabo #5)

    Add St. Andrews # 16, with the right wind.

    Also just found out Kiawah 3 is drivable, just had someone do it with a G20 driver and some tail wind on multiplayer.
