| Abstract/Contents: | Addresses the potential problem with par-72 courses and asks "Why is par 72 standard?" Suggests that "that most developers demand par-72 courses, and most golfers think that other than par 72, with four par 3s and par 5s, and distance balanced between nines, is somehow inferior." Notes that the par-72 courses were not always "standard" before the 20th Century. State that "as golf evolves, there may be strong reasons to change the traditional mix and reduce par." Predicts that "when new course construction picks up again, many golf course architects will be proposing par-70 courses." |
