I dont get all the fuss to be honest.. What if it was a par 4 and he laid up playing it as a par 5 would we get the same reaction?
I struggle with the first hole on my course. Its Athy for those who dont know. Its a par 4, dog leg left with oob right. the landing zone has trees either side and bunkers. So a hook or slice and you have no shot to green. The green is long and narrow with bunkers either side I think its index 6 or 7. I very rarely score on it. If you were to average it out. So this year I took a different approach. I hit 4I or Rescue off the Tee. Hitting the fairway 8/10 times now. still leaves a 200yd approach to the green but have made it or just been a little short and now am scoring on it regularly apart from the odd brain fart.
My mate who I play with regularly goes nuts! That's not golf take the driver don't be afraid of it etc... Its not a particularly hard hole in fact if you hit a good drive you will have a wedge in. But its a low index for a reason as its the first, most people aren't warmed up, trees, bunkers, oob right surround the landing zone so Im playing the % shot.
You be amazed at the amount of people that scratch it and lets face it nobody wants to be starting their round off with a scratch! Good thread even though it went totally off topic but we rolled with it

On the 12th hole at Water Rock in Cork, it's a long Par 3, index 1.
It usually has a sucker pin per the below example. It's 240 yards from the back and 219 from the medal tee per below.
When playing a casual/practice round, you would go for it i.e. the Red being the apex, anything right is gone. When competing you just don't with the blue your apex. It's a hybrid for me. Left/straight/Right still gives you a chance to Gross Par or at worse a Net Par.
