Most golfers believe Par 5 ’ s are the hardest holes on the course because they are the longest holes on the course . The truth is , the Par 3 ’ s are the toughest holes on the course from a scoring perspective . I know what you ’ re thinking , how is this possible ? It ’ s actually pretty simple . The
