Do we know what the distance is? Im guessing like 160 yards, not counting the height.

Probably had to hit it way the frick in the air, so around 300 yards by the time it came down, probably.

Yep. Maybe more. All he would need to do is put it farther up in his stance and balloon that thing up.

I guessed about 180 yards, but the problem is the height. Most tour players hit the ball about 90-100 feet at the peak. If the stands are 180 yards and 75 feet, you have to carry a ball about 220 to comfortably carry it out of the stadium. The bet for Bubba would be a 7 or 8 iron depending on the distances to the end of the stands.

It would be a great bet for a 15 handicap, and I would guess only about 10-20% would do it on the 1st shot. The average driver distance for all golfers is around 220 yards with a carry of 200.
