1) You don't use a driver

2) You hit a 15*-3w 220yds and 70% of the time it is in the fairway or just off.

3) Your 7i averages 150-160.

4) You play from just under 6100yds. (usually white tees for most of my courses)

5) You average under 2 putts for the round.

So all these combined, would you be able to break 80?

I had a conversation with one friend who insists that if a person cannot hit a driver 240+ consistently they will never touch or break 80.

My other friend thinks it doesn't matter if you can't drive or hit a 3w (He tees off with a 3h). If a person has a really good iron and short game then reaching 80 is possible, factoring in the person averages less than 2 putts.

I've played a course where I lost 6 balls and still got lucky enough to shoot an 86. I left a lot of strokes on the table.

What say you? Have you done it?
