This is essentially saying that if you shoot 90’s+, you need to be laying up on a ton of par 3’s. I’m not sure how they came up with this other than trying to be click bait. Even saying scratch golfers should lay up at 220 is a bit of a stretch, again, because there are plenty of par 3’s pushing that distance out there. I wouldn’t start throwing the toss up idea until around that 220 mark if there was danger. If not, I’d only really start laying up around 250/260 because then it starts to get iffy about making it there. But yea, if there is danger that number comes way down.I was just reading an article about how one should layup from 180 yards or more out from the green. Not sure how old the article was as it’s a bit of click bait, but I wonder if the math really would hold true.
So, how close would you be to truly think about laying up?
Here was the picture from the article:
