Your Chances of Hitting the 17th Green at TPC Sawgrass

[AuzzieMatt]

based on history 100% of the time haha

Smartarse

shall we cut to the video?

No, because it confirms 0% for me.

 

[MWard]

More than 20% of the time. I’m 2/2 as it stands, but I know mathematically I’m gonna mess up.



From the championship tee.

 

[ULEWZ]

I would say 3 tries and I am on. The wind is certainly a factor though. 33%

i watched it again the other night. "if you like golf you'll hate this shot." haha i love it

 

[Jtubb17]

20% seems pretty low. I’m sure I could be between 30-40 so I’ll take the over

 

[pumbaa]

Probably less than 20 percent.

Huge green with a short iron - I'd hope I'd fare well if the middle of the green was my target. Walking up to the tee with a 1-stroke lead in the Players though, I'd rate my chances at 0.1%! hahaha

 

[RecGolfer]

From what distance? On Thursday the hole played at 125 yards. I think I could get 2 of 5 (40%) on the green from there. But on Friday, it played at 145 yards. 1 out of 10? That green is not very big.

If it was on the front 9, 60%. But it's the 17th hole and my back is sore and i'm hot and tired from the rest of the course. 20% if I'm lucky.

I am pretty sure I could hit the green. Though I am not sure if the ball would stay on it, lol.

 

[PatsFan]

1 try? Possibly
I would like to think I could hit it 20% of the time.

 

[CTRosarian]

The scorecards says whites are 115 and the forward tees are 92.
I'd say 50/50 from either of those two distances as I am used to playing an executive course with tiny greens.
No chance at 145 yards. Even if it lands on the green it won't hold.

 

[Thornton Melon]

I've played it twice and I'm 1/2 from 125-130. It's a very small green in person.

 

[picardyThird]

Hitting the green? Pretty high chance (depending on wind of course). Getting close to the pin? Pretty darn low.

Did you guys see the segment today where they put a tracer out on the course on a random day when amateurs were playing and tabulated results? It wasn’t pretty.

 

[hackitup]

Going by my stats for the 2 clubs I’d play, I’d put my chances somewhere between 30-41%. That’s my approach for stats for all holes. I’d assume I have a better chance off the tee but with water and slopes I wouldn’t count on it on that tee box.

Yes. That is the same day, and the same data as the article I reference in the opening post on this thread.

 

[Maric]

Less than 20% no matter what tee. I think that any ball I play is endowed with the magical power of a water dowser.
