Happy Length for Par 3?

[JB]

Everybody has that par 3 hole that they get to and are excited about the distance number. What is your perfect number?

 

[War Eagle]

165 yards. Love a Par 3 at that length.

 

[baylrballa]

137
151

 

[gkeller813]

For me it's 150

 

[Nappy]

Anything between 120 and 150 and I like my chances.

 

[Jank]

130 for me. It's close enough that I'm always firing at the flag, but far enough where things can still go haywire with a bad shot

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

155

 

[Scooby45]

strokes gained tells me otherwise, but I love 135

 

[Steve2100]

150 and below. Over that it gets erratic

 

[MikeG]

I feel really comfortable with a par 3 around 145 or so. I don't mind longer par threes, but the ones that put an 8i in my hand I prefer.

 

[Pops]

Put 8 iron in my hands please. 145 to 155.

 

[Pops]

I will also add to this that with the addition of my TSR2 4 hybrid I don’t fear the 195 to 210 par 3 nearly as bad as have in the past.

 

[Scooby45]

On second thought, give me 195. I'm really happy with my 4 hybrid in hand and I know others tend to not like that distance if we have a match going.

 

[DataDude]

140 and I’m taking your lunch money.

 

[That post]

Put 8 iron in my hands please. 145 to 155.

This. I love my 8 iron.

 

[Jason89er]

140 center is my happy place. Can play to a back pin with that and can tee up a high one when it’s a front pin.

 

[mson]

I like the 130-150 range which gives me 8 or 9i.

 

[Daddio]

Love anything 125-145.

 

[Tywithay]

210 is my favorite distance. Any chance to use my 5 wood off the tee makes me happy. Easily the most confident club in my bag at the moment.

 

[Templet0n]

Somewhere between 147-170 is a comfortable number..

 

[Mmaynard11]

If I get on the tee box and the distance is between 138-146yds I know I’m hitting the green and should have a good look at birdie.

 

[jdtox]

135

 

[Misike]

I like 135 - 145 yards (or less). I’m just much more confident from that distance and in.

 

[CBaker]

If it's a number and not a range, I'll go for right on 150. Anything shorter is great but you don't see it often enough at the distances I typically play, so it's more of a nice surprise. I had one hole this year that I remember was bang on 150, and nearly holed in on the fly.

 

[Daluteh]

I like something right around 115-120 or give me 150ish shot.
