the origins of the par 2 have finally been traced to a 1974 high school student www.forrestrichardsongolf.com | +1 602 906 1818 In high school Forrest Richardson managed to convince his teachers to let him design golf courses as part of his geometry class. His fantasy \u201cMill Creek\u201d design featured railroad track obstacles, an island bunker, a par-6 and an innovative par-2 putting hole \u2014 the 17th. The dreaming came true. His first putting hole debuted at Mountain Shadows in Arizona. It\u2019s become a favorite betting hole. His second par-2 comes on line in 2026 at Scottsdale Country Club\u2019s Six Shooter Course. In his own words: \u201cFormula golf design may have been the thing \u2013 but not any longer.\u201d FORREST RICHARDSON GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTS baylands golf links | dave sansom photo wigwam golf resort | keith alstrin photo c 2025 frgca<\/p>\n
