Chattooga Par Established
Sunday Aaron Evans and I went and played Chattooga Belle Farm from the marked tees to the marked pin placements. A tee area or two were moved and one pin placement was moved. The length was not changed but the ‘feel’ of two holes (4, 10) were changed. Both remain par three holes but the deuce just became slightly more challenging.
By using the criteria used for ball golf courses the established par for Chattooga Belle Farm is 62. Par 32 on the front and par 30 on the back. The criteria for ball golf is how many shots it takes to reach the green plus two putts. For Chattooga Bell Farm the thought process is how many shots will it take the average player to get within putting range. Putting range being where does the average player go from laying up to ‘going for it’ with a putt.
As we look at the course and play once the baskets are installed, the par on some holes (3, 12) might change from being par 4’s to par 5’s.
