That's my point. Are you giving dback a 1/200 chance of even making contact? You gotta give him more credit than that.
My definition of pulling off the shot is putting it on the green from there.
And it’s a two tiered hour glass shaped green where anything on the wrong section/tier is a likely three putt or a pitch from off the putting surface like #17 at Pebble Beach.

You could be right. And there might be someone on this board (other than 89 and I) who can keep their 2nd shot on the green on the Road Hole at St. Andrews.SunCoastBlueHen wrote:Whatever. You still have no prayer of hitting a major league pitch.kalm wrote:

Don't listen to two guys who have played in professional tournaments (albeit little ones).
Not even close to the same thing. Baseball players aren't just (well, most) going up and swinging - they are trying to place it as well, and control distance, height, etc.
Just admit it, golfers are spoiled pantywaists.
