I don't see many par 3's where "long" is good, so a rule of thumb for me (as a mdi-ish handicap) is play it short if anything. Miss short on a par 3 and you still have a solid chance. Miss long and you are usually bogey +.
@vonteflon

Totally get that, but I get very pissed off when I leave it short, on any approach shot but especially in a par 3. So if anything I tend to go up a club to make sure - added benefit is I tend to strike it a bit more smoothly and increase my chances of knocking it on the green.

Hi Rick! You mentioned in the video the importance of knowing your distances to reduce your score. Typically, i know my 7 iron distance and put 10yards + or - depending on the length of the shot. It’s works one club either way but doesn’t offer too much consistency throughout the bag. I’d love to see a video going through your set up on the range to find an accurate number with each club. In addition, explaining how many times a season you have to do this to reduce your score. Thanks for the great content! James

Can you talk about the difference between using GPS vs Laser when adjusting for elevation changes? It seems to me GPS can only give you overhead distance between two points, and laser will always give you straight line distance (along the hypotenuse). As the elevation change increases, the difference between those two readings increases. So the yardage adjustment for those two tools should be different. In addition, uphill and downhill adjustments should not be symmetric because the angle of decent in those two cases are completely different. i.e. if the green is 30 ft uphill, the amount of extra club is not equal to the amount of reduced club if the green is 30 ft downhill, because for the latter case, the ball is falling nearly straight down

Nowadays, I mainly just try to go for the center of the green, but do take all of the things you mentioned into account.

Great advice Rick. I had a unique thought regarding par 3s: Depending upon tee box conditions and the hole itself, I sometimes feel more comfortable and confident hitting off the deck than I do with a tee. Some tee boxes have some fluffy tuffs of grass and it allows me to slightly tee up the ball. I hit my blades high, so, it helps keep the ball down and I tend not to mishit it as much, when compared to teeing it up. I imagine this might effect the distance but I wanted to ask what you thought of this “strategy.”

It is interesting how as you improve in golf, the longest holes become the best opportunities for pars and birdies, and the shortest holes are where we often lose the most strokes. You didn't mention it in the video, but I also think there's more "pressure" that you feel teeing off on a par 3. I think most players are more relaxed on a typical approach shot than they are teeing off on a par 3. The average golfer is used to not hitting the green in regulation a lot - but for some reason, we feel like we HAVE to on a par 3. For me, my state of mind when I'm teeing off on a par 3 is the biggest factor.

Cheers Rick, the main point is that they often the seem the easiest holes and when focussing on the game at large the par 3's are often a low priority in the golfing mind.. but going back to basics and realising that the simple things need full consideration to get that birdie rather than par, is often overlooked or dismissed by us amatuers. The shorter the hole, the more precise you need to be! (in my opinion).
