I don't get changing holes from par 5 to par 4. The hole is still the same so what difference does par make?



you don't gain as much when you beat the field ... long hitters who make 3 gain 1 stroke instead of 2 ...

If the average score on a hole is 4.5, you gain a half stroke for a 4 and lose a half stroke for a 5. And that's the same for everybody regardless of what's printed on the score card.
