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
Driver:Titleist 909D2
3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

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.
