If every single hole was a par 3 , or if every single hole was a par 5 the round ratings wouldn’t change and the amount of throws made wouldn’t change. That being said a few pars here and there may be adjusted, nothing is finalised until I have it in the PDGA back end and you start your round. Which as I said before the amount of of strokes you use to finish the course Vs your competition is the only thing round ratings are based off , par simply is not used in the calculation at least not to the extend that one or two holes will matter. As for the layout mention at Mac , yes you are correct MP divisions play two holes differently and the sentence in question will be adjusted.

While that is true about the ratings part. I know it's definitely discouraging to players to step up to a hole and know they have no chance at a birdie. And when looking back at a score and seeing you're that many more strokes over par is never a great feeling. I know for some players that is the sort of thing that makes them want to come back or not. If the pars are adjusted that's cool. I'm just going based off what the caddy book says. I actually have never even played most of the blue pads I'll be playing (as a local) because they are above my skill level and have never had them used in tournament either.

The white layout shows hole 6 at rose as a par4 and then blue as a part 3. I had noticed that as well. I'm also curious about hole 8 being a par 5?? With extra distance. Is the udisc numbers off or is there another pin location beyond the 2 normal ones?
