Par4QC Competitions are not about scores, as we may be concerned about as bad amateurs, it is about winning/placing/money. Scores be damned. They mean nothing at banks or on trophies.
jmo, but the powers that be, just do not get that.
Bingo.......... If there never was a thing called par there wouldn't be this call to restrict things. They will never do it, but get rid of par. Just add up the strokes and the fewest strokes win.
Forget about how many under par the winning score is. Just announce it like The Open does. With a score of 270 and the winner of the Gold medal and the Champion golfer of the year is.......................
The USGA and R&A are concerned about embarrassing legacy courses. It's stupid. So what if golfers are getting bigger and stronger. The winning score no matter what it is wins.
When I was in high school (early 70's) they banned dunking in basketball (from 1967 to 1976). That was dumbass as well. But again, the USGA can do whatever they want and if the Tours go along with it I really don't care.
But leave the recreational golfer out of it. Allow bifurcation.
