165 yards would be a par 3 on any course. True most holes in one come on par threes. There are however, some par fours that can be reached in one shot by a minority of golfers. It is possible for this small group of long hitters to make a hole in one on these types of par fours.
If I'm not mistaken, calculus is a geometric function.
