I'm going to add on a little more. If you can make it with your offhand 100% of the time, you aren't PARKED. If one of those guys you see around whose arms end at their elbow and like 3 gimp fingers come out can't make it blind folded after being shot in both feet, you aren't PARKED.

haha, this reminds of the 'you might be a redneck if...' routine.
To me parked = my drive landing somewhere where I feel 100% confident I am going to make the putt. So yes, my definition is more liberal than yours, and I don't care to debate who's is correct beyond explaining how I view it.
To me, a 20' putt is "a no doubter for a putt" but once in a while I get a little too casual for my own good and miss it. Generally if my drive lands within the circle I call it parked, unless between me and the basket is a wall of pine trees (Looking at you, hole #13 at Arboretum).

That's my definition as well. There's a difference b/w parked (I should make the putt) and a gimme putt (Couldn't miss if I tried).

My concept of 'parked': how parked u r to the pin varies inversely to how pissed u wud be if u missed the putt
I like that. lol

Parked, to me, is inside 10ft, gimme range. Close enough that you can putt left handed, eyes closed, with your bag on your back and a beer in a right hand and you're taking a sip.

My goal wasn't so much course related as it is hole related.
That's hole 8 at Arboretum, my home course. It's one of those holes where as I grew into better form I'd watch my discs get further and further down the fairway. I always wanted to put a drive pin deep. I always told myself, if I can just park this hole (425'), I will be content distance-wise. I remember when my drives were falling off around that small shrub to the left. Then I started getting under the first big tree. Last fall I had a few sweet throws with a worn Teebird that landed in between the two big trees, which is how I got my first birdie on it. It took me until this season to finally park it, and it felt ****ing great to accomplish a specific goal I set out to do long ago.
Now I just need to deuce hole #10 short and #11 long and I'll be happy with what I've done at that course
Yeah arboretum has some long holes, but they, like the pic you posted, are fairly open.

I finally just shot under par at my home course. Dexter State Park. The thing is I also missed 3 putts within 20 feet and ended even(three birdies and three bogeys)
Fast forward to three days after that and I shoot a -1 (4 birdies 3 bogeys) with the same thing happening. Me missing about 2-3 20 footers
All in all though I am happy. My main goal for 2010 was to par dexter and now I have done it twice
