I mean, on TV a fairway looks pretty tiny - depending on the size of your TV. But in Real Life, it takes a pretty big miss to get the shots some of these "best players" end up with - everytime they play! One of Tiger's astounding stats is how many fairways he misses!

I mean, a Par 3 is a par three for everyone - EVERYONE - who plays. Thats's one on the green, two putts.

Why are the "best" in the lake, out of bounds, in the trees, across the road - that's MY game!
