Finessing a shot is a very different skill than dead reconning a distance.

Using only 2 clubs on an executive course is impressive. I have not played one, and I know they are short, but you still have par 4s that are upwards of 400 yards. Kyle Berkshire could get there in 2 with a wedge. But not many others. They also have par 3's that are longer than most people can hit a wedge.

Did you maybe mean a pitch and putt?
