i gave myself 1-10% chance. my average drive is 270, and if i hit my 3-wood accurately and cleanly, it'll go about 230, so i'd really have to swing out of my shoes on the drive and then hope that i was able to maximize my 3-wood as well to get it there.

I need to see the highlights. Anyone know how he did it? Did he drop his second close to the pin, or did he make an outrageous chip-in?

thats a par 5 around here and longer than many of them, no way i could get there. Best i could do is get within 60-70 yards with 3rd shot, might get lucky and hit it close and make a 4, most likely no better than 5 but with shorter tour fairways might get more roll off tee shot if it makes the fairway but no GIR.

25-30%- about what I reach a par 5 of about the same length. More about accuracy than distance.

Slightly OT, but is 7600 yards just getting stupid long?

Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind

3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic

I said 11-30%, but that's cause I'd guess 10-15% really. There's two short par 5s on my home course that play about that length, and I haven't been keeping good stats until recently but I'd say I've played there maybe 15-20 times in the last year and had 4 eagle putts...

If you take my now good, but not very best ever, drives, and allow me to tee it up for my second shot and give it another go with the driver... I'm still 40 yards short.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
