Re: 100 yards in Football vs Golf
Golf course yard markers are off a significant amount of the time.

Re: 100 yards in Football vs Golf

Even weirder, I've hit golf balls on a football field and it still seems to be further than the equivalent distance on a golf course. [/ QUOTE ] Well, it could be because you hit it downhill a good percentage of the time on a golf course, but its always flat on a football field, and your ball rolls further than a football... duh mcduh

Re: 100 yards in Football vs Golf
the back of one end zone through the opposite uprights is perfect distance for a pitching wedge for me. When I standing over the shot on the football field it looked like there was no way I could make it. When I hit it it seemed like it flew forever. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense.

This is not stupid. I've thought the same thing many times. I have no answer as to why it seems that way. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: 100 yards in Football vs Golf
I thought the same thing until one time, when my friends and I were hammered, we tried playing a short par 3 w/ out clubs (throwing/rolling the ball). We had to get over a short pond to the green. I'm like, "no problem, i just don't want to throw it too far". I heaved it as far as I could, fuking up my shoulder in the process and it didn't even reach the front of the lake like 50 yards away.

Golf course yard markers are off a significant amount of the time. [/ QUOTE ] but whether they're too long or too short probably varies, so your idea of 100 yards should roughly be correct.

Re: 100 yards in Football vs Golf
Like most everywhere else, golf courses have been downsizing, so 100 yds. is really only 75 yds. Football can't do it because of the large investment in prefab hash marks.
