    This has probably been ased before but......

    Why is this hole a par 4 on WGT when in real life it is a par 5 as shown at the Barclays this week and when #4 is a par 5 @ 517 yds when 7 is 525yds par 4??

    hi

    when they hosted us open, it played as par 4, so that's how we have it setup.

    hi it is a tough par 4  but birdies can be made allbeit a bit of luck, but making it a par 5 would be too easy i think

    It's also been lengthened to 553 yards (and is still the easiest hole). #4 is almost impossible to hit in 2.

    The 7th hole is not a hard par four.  It is very long but fairly easy to hit the green and two putt for par.  The 4th hole with all the elevation change and traps is virtually impossible to hit in two with a perfect wind and a lot of luck.

    It is still a very easy par five but as WGT has mentioned, they set up the courses as they were set up for the US and British Opens that were played there that year.  You will also notice that hole #15 from the Legend tees is about 30 yards shorter from the other tees, that was also a result of the tee length during the Open.

    Wow..that's quite the feat there my man. So is that 31 on Kiawah that you got your very first game here. Yet another multi-accounter trying to brag about themselves. What a D-BAG !!
