Most golfers with a handicap of 15 or less can reach a 450-yard par-5 in two

Reaching a par-5 green in two depends on how far a golfer hits the ball, as well as the hole and weather conditions.

The analysis estimates that golfers with handicaps of 15 or less could reach a 450-yard hole in two.

A 500-yard hole is much harder: scratch golfers can reach comfortably, while 5-handicappers would need two very strong shots.

These estimates can help golfers decide when to try for the green and when to play more safely.
