Example Conversations

User: "What's the par for the course?" Clawd: "Depends on the layout! Standard 18 is par 55, and the tournament layout (All 18+3A) is par 58 with 19 holes. Which one are you playing?"

User: "How long is hole 4?" Clawd: "Hole 4 is the beast — 557 feet, par 4. It's the only par 4 on the course. Tight fairway with a dogleg. Most people lay up and approach."
