Could you make 4 out of 10, 25 yard field goals with no defense?


Ehhh idk. It would be close.

That’s easy as hell. I used to play touch football on Saturdays, and some of us would kick field goals during warmups just for fun. I could hit 4 of 10 from 40 yards. The trick is to do it with a defense in front. From 25 yards I would probably make 8. And the only ones I’d miss would be bad mis-hits.

And let me add that this is what I could have done back then. I’m 57 now, and while I’m in excellent condition for my age, I’d probably break my foot kicking a football.

I've watched enough people try to kick at fan fests to say kicking a FG isn't nearly as easy as some people think.

This is the OT. I will give him a 350meter head start.

What's your handicap?

I'm a lifelong golfer that hits the ball about as far as the lower level PGA players (albeit not nearly as consistently straight). I'm a 7 handicap that has played some world renowned courses and fared decently well.

And I would get arse raped with no lube by Augusta National.

I played May River Golf Club this year in Palmetto Bluff and the greens were rolling at a 13 and the surroundings felt very similar to Augusta. I played very, very well and shot 86 with a personal caddie. That round would've been a 75 on my home course.

They have similar slope ratings (Augusta and May River), so I'm thinking that is a 66 for a pro (good round for them vs. 86 a good round for me on same course). I gave myself 30 instead of 20 though because Augusta just eats you alive on some holes and I'm sure the pressure would crush me as well.


ETA:

Also greatly depends on who I'm playing.

I've played all my life and played in college (yes for the golf team)

I played Omaha CC two years ago which will be hosting the Senior US Open in the next year or so. I shot 74.
Last year I played Shadow Ridge in Omaha and shot a 72.
I played Sentry World in Stevens Point, WI and broke par more than once.

Stewart Cink was a very close friend of mine and I've played him and beat him when we were in school

This is the question. A tour player. There are tour players every year that shoot in the 90s at the Masters.

I can break 100, easily.

What is a meter?

I went to shoot hoops for about the first time in a year or so this last weekend. After I was warmed up I started shooting free throws. Hit 23/30 (went 7/10, 7/10, and 9/10).

Hit a 34 yard field goal at the Titletown Field in Green Bay when I was home for Christmas. Was wearing snow pants which limited my ability to go deeper than that.

Was a good volleyball player back when we used to play competitive 4s and 2s here in the city (beach and indoor). Good outside hitter, but not a good setter.

Weird mixture of athleticism, skill, and stamina in your question. Augusta question, free throws, is more skill than athleticism. A 25 yard field goal is a lot harder than most people think (35 yards from the uprights).
