    270 yard 3-wood
    273 yard 9 iron

    Sounds plausible.

    I don't know the exact yardage, but i do it all the time in the Tiger Woods videos games, which we all know are COMPLETELY life-like.

    Assuming you cut the corner, it might be possible, but again i don't know the yardage.

    Well considering Henrik Stenson rarely uses a driver and regularly hits his 3 wood over 300 yards I'd say it's definitely possible.. if you can hit a 9 iron like a 4 or 5..

    And it's a sunny day..

    And the Wind is with you..

    Rescue ~ CPR #2 18°
    Irons ~ Pi7 3-PW

    Stats to believe its possible...and lets see, if theres no stats to prove professionals do it, let alone succeed at it with some degree of success...why try it?

    *Edit* Stenson's stats:
    http://www.databasegolf.com/players/...mid=StensHen01

    ok so you were 5 yards off...on average.

    How long is the hole exactly? That'd need to be a hell of a 9-iron on reflection..
