Provide some numbers for the viewing audience before we sign off on this moonshine.

This weeks LPGA Corning Classic - 6,062 yds.

1 Par 4 402 yards
2 Par 5 446 yards
3 Par 3 191 yards
4 Par 4 355 yards
5 Par 3 449 yards
6 Par 4 307 yards
7 Par 4 152 yards
8 Par 4 345 yards
9 Par 4 364 yards
10 Par 4 364 yards
11 Par 3 158 yards
12 Par 5 465 yards
13 Par 4 412 yards
14 Par 5 510 yards
15 Par 3 125 yards
16 Par 4 304 yards
17 Par 4 336 yards
18 Par 4 377 yards

I am guessing Tiger Woods could drive the green on 6, 8, 16, and 17. 4, 9 10 and 18 are driver and a chip. (#7 must be a three). He would probably be hitting a wedge into the par 5's at 2 and 12. That's 10 out of 18 holes that are potential eagle opportunities with a putter or chip shot. In addition, the rough is nowhere near as bad, the greens are slower and the bunkers shallower. I am guessing Tiger Woods shoots a 59 most of the time on this particular course.

Thanks. I am getting AWFUL sick of all these gnats buzzing around my ears. For the record: I love women. I respect them. I enjoy playing golf with them. But people who think that they can play golf as well as men, under the same conditions, are living in a fantasy world.

Thanks for the quick post-back. Let's analyze the data at our leisure, shall we?

The post in question was "He would be driving the greens with irons on a lot of par fours!!!"

===============================

Woods hits a 2-iron about 250 yards (we'll give him 260).

He'd hit exactly none of these par 4s in one. Period.
