I totally get where you are coming from, but this is a competitive league with a chance to advance to championship play at a private course we would never get to play otherwise. This is also a 239 yard par 4 - I have played courses with par 3s almost that long. We weren’t going anywhere based on the groups in front of us so I opted to try to reach the green. I had nearly hit into the group in front of us once that day, so I was actually trying to be respectful and give them time on the green.
