Weekend Chat: Favorite Short Par 4s?

Your Club TFE comment section for the fourth weekend in February 2023

Weekend Chat: Favorite Short Par 4s?
Weekend Chat: Favorite Short Par 4s?

Welcome to the end of the week. For TFE staffer Garrett, the weekend actually started yesterday, after the Portland, Oregon, area received near-record snowfall and school was canceled. Isn’t it weird how the phrase “Snow Day” becomes sinister as soon as you have school-age kids?

Anyway, as always, the comment section is yours. Introduce yourself if you’re new. If you’re fortunate enough not to live in the Pacific Northwest, perhaps you’re playing golf this weekend. Where are you going? And hey: anyone recognize the course and hole in the header image?

We had our second monthly virtual hangout yesterday, and… our video-conferencing software lost the recording. Sorry! We’ll look to do an extra hangout in the next month to make it up to ya.

From our merch team: we now have international shipping for everything in our photography shop, and remember to use the code CLUBTFEMEMBER for your 10% discount in the pro shop. Also, we’ll have some new hats for sale early next week.

Your Friday question

Whether the 10th hole at Riviera actually stinks became a hot topic among golf nerds last week. The discussion got us thinking about short par 4s in general.

What are some of your favorite diminutive par 4s, drivable or not? What, in your opinion, makes a strong short 4?

The ice of Portland isn’t yet muddy, but it’s getting there. Thank you for supporting The Fried Egg.

About the author

Garrett Morrison

When I was 10 or 11 years old, my dad gave me a copy of The World Atlas of Golf. That kick-started my obsession with golf architecture. I read as many books about the subject as I could find, filled a couple of sketch books with plans for imaginary golf courses, and even joined the local junior golf league for a summer so I could get a crack at Alister MacKenzie's Valley Club of Montecito. I ended up pursuing other interests in high school and college, but in my early 30s I moved to Pebble Beach to teach English at a boarding school, and I fell back in love with golf. Soon I connected with Andy Johnson, founder of Fried Egg Golf. Andy offered me a job as Managing Editor in 2019. At the time, the two of us were the only full-time employees. The company has grown tremendously since then, and today I'm thrilled to serve as the Head of Architecture Content. I work with our talented team to produce videos, podcasts, and written work about golf courses and golf architecture.
