Your weekly question(s)

Here’s a philosophical-ish one for ya: what is, or what should be, the difference between a long par 3 and a long par 4?

Andy has been thinking about this one because he recently saw a 275-yard par 4 at Sedge Valley and a 300-yard par 3 at Pinehurst No. 10. Should those holes have fundamentally different design characteristics? And if so, does that mean that par does matter?

We will never change, no matter what they say. Thank you for your steadfast support of Fried Egg Golf.
