I'm not sure what the PGA average is from 25 feet. I was just musing because someone said 6 footers were gimmes and
the tour players regularly knockem in from 25 foot.

Six footers are not gimmies. I saw a stat once that said 10 footers for pros were less than 50%. It seems about right.

And as for the 25ers, I'm not sure what "regularly" means, but they make their share. They aren't really that rare. In fact, in my weekend rounds, I'd say I see at least two "bombs" over the two rounds, and that's from crummy players.

I can see why the other poster got the impression though. When watching TV, they always show those long ones, it makes for good viewing, but it can be misleading.
