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.

It would take, for me, an awesome drive (280-285 yards) plus a perfect 4-iron (235 yards).

Uh...yeah. Put me down for 2%. Maybe.

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?

0%. Yah I just can't do that... yet? Only a month or so into the game so I've got a while to go before I even think about that.

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?

Weapons of choice:

3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

1 in a 100 for me! My best driver and 3 wood on fairways that are baked out and fast so there's plenty of roll to be had. 518 YD Par 4, that's just nuts!

See, I might be able too sometimes, but it would take on of my longest drives and a very good 3 wood.

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.

    • 39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips. 
    • Day 11: Worked on putting with the metronome
    • I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2! 
    • Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas
    • Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
