Not any moreso than doubling the number of turns it takes.
i.e.
Player A rolls 1d6 : An average roll (3.5) would take 6 rolls (5.71) to total 20
Player B rolls 2d6 : An average roll (7) would take 3 rolls (2.86) to total 20
It will still take an average of 6 total dice to reach the minimum value of 20, with a minimum of 4 dice to total that value.
In other words; how is it any different than player A rolling four separate 1's while player B rolls two 2's. I think two dice (2d6) makes an "average" shot more reasonable, and thus "par" easier to calculate. In this case, 2d6 will average 3 turns to complete the hole, thus giving the "par" for the hole. In golf, par is considered "average" when calculating difficulties for holes.

Im not doubting your maths, or your definitions.
But you have to take into account that this is a game based on interactions with other people and thier balls.
If I was playing it solo, i would probably do it your way.
But its multiplayer and thus the interactions come with bouncing balls off each other.
I fully expect each hole to take 8 to 10 shots barring good rolls. I cant say its a Par 8. The only link between the different holes I got to go on is how many boards they are made up of, thus thats what I use for Par.
If you take 6 shots on this, there is nothing in the game to say you are 3 over par.
Its something I am looking at, but not solved yet. But rolling two dice didnt work when i tried it out with my friends.
