Nah, I hit 90 MPH fastballs before (Scott Moviel), and I can tell you that hitting an 80 MPH curveball or a 92 MPH cutter are much more difficult.tk421 wrote: Hitting a baseball at 90 mph is the hardest thing to do in sports. You don't see Pujols or A-Rod telling the crowd to be quiet. The fact that "Pro" golfers need quiet to hit a stationary ball off of a tee is pathetic.
That doesn't have anything to do with it. It's a stationary ball, it's not moving. It is far easy to play golf than hit a 90+ mph fastball, yet Tiger Woods, the best in the game, acts like a baby if a photographer dares to take a picture. That's ridiculous.ZWICK 4 PREZ wrote:There's no question that hitting a 90+ fastball is extremely tough, but you're just looking to make contact and hit it.

I'll lay a 10x10 blanket 200 yards out and if anyone on here can lay 5/10 balls on the blanket, I'll gladly give them a grand.hang_loose wrote:Justin, are you basing that on your averages? I still think you could do itZWICK 4 PREZ wrote:you'd lose that bet.hang_loose wrote:

Shit... you get anyone dropping two at 2 bills I'd be amazed.I'll lay a 10x10 blanket 200 yards out and if anyone on here can lay 5/10 balls on the blanket, I'll gladly give them a grand.
I've tried it and the BEST I've done is two. It's harder than you'd think.lhslep134 wrote: Zwick, I might have to take you up on that, although I doubt I could do it 5 times, maybe 2 or 3.
Ya... it won't happen. If any can do it, they better sign up for Q school.ytownfootball wrote:Shit... you get anyone dropping two at 2 bills I'd be amazed.I'll lay a 10x10 blanket 200 yards out and if anyone on here can lay 5/10 balls on the blanket, I'll gladly give them a grand.

I imagine how hard it is... during senior year in hs our coach dropped us off on a 190 yard par 3, drew a probably 25 foot in diameter circle and gave us each 20 balls to see who could get the most in the circle, with the winner getting a free dinner.
I ended up with 4, but probably landed about 8 in the circle, with some rolling too far and the others spinning back out of it.
The next closest was 2, and that was by one of the kids who graduated the year before who just wanted to practice with us.
I will admit my iron game was a lot better in hs though, while I'd say now it's my short game that saves me strokes from bad situations my iron shots create, so really, if you threw down a 10x10 circle RIGHT NOW I'd be lucky to get 2.
Why don't you just make it a hole in one? Show me a pro who can hit 5/10 into the hole and I'll give you a grand.

Add 100 yards to that and your pro golfers couldn't do it either.
The average person couldnt hit 5/10 fairways with a driver.hang_loose wrote:Why don't you just make it a hole in one? Show me a pro who can hit 5/10 into the hole and I'll give you a grand.

How many people tee off trying to hit a 10x10 area in the fairway? Add 100 yards to that and your pro golfers couldn't do it either.
Keep it reasonable. Are you saying you couldn't hit 5/10 balls in the fairway if people were heckilng you? I bet you could if the bet was opposite.

What about an average golfer of your skill? I have no idea what you shoot but if you are not a pro, could you do it with hecklers?ZWICK 4 PREZ wrote:The average person couldnt hit 5/10 fairways with a driver.hang_loose wrote:Why don't you just make it a hole in one?
