Mark Fine, I was posing a ? I meant that if a par 3 green is set up to be able to receive shots not only from varing angles and lengths, at what point does the set up for tee 'A' actual begin to help a poorly (less than optimal) hit shot from tee 'B'? And hence, become too "fair and equitable". Since many here have not had the opportunity to play the Dunes Club, it might have been a bad example. But I posed the questiion to Tom and know that he knows the hole.
Also, I don't believe just because everyone tees off from the same spot, that they "have the same challenge.opportunity at hand". Everyone has different abilities. For example, on a 220 yds hole with firm fast greens, you'ld probably have a much greater challange than, say Tiger Woods.
And, as to your side note, yes, I do consider how different pin positions affect "shot demands". And wind. And elevation. It's what we get paid for.
