Default Par 4 should be reachable in two

Seems like TV should recommend the tees based on typical driving distance, or seven iron distance. Something that relates directly to distance.
Outlaw, you are correct, if you can't reach a par 4 in two you are playing from the wrong set of tees. Move forward.
