  Maybe to cut them a bit of slack, given the 10th and 12th are in excess of 500 yards and the 16th only 10 yards short of that. Not to mention the 13th is over 600 yards.

  For interest, checked out card for 2009 US Open at BPB.  How does this compare to Legend yardages?  From above, looks spookily similar.

  Bogeys are always possible but from back 9 scorecards on your profile page seems GIR and birdies are also possible, certainly on 10, 12 and 15.  Yes it's gonna be tough, and probably not possible to hit GIR in to a head wind, but hey, you don't play BPB expecting an easy ride, do you.

  And maybe the reason they have done it is so the 'Legends' understand what it is like for us mere Masters still waiting to unlock the clubs needed to reach many BPB holes off meagre Master tees even with a tail wind.
