Del Greco has booted 236 field goals and connected on 74.4 percent of his attempts in his 13-year NFL career with the Oilers, Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals and he has one of the stronger legs in the game, as his 17 field goals of 50 yards or more attest. Del Greco takes the same approach to golf, a sport at which he has proven to be equally adept. I try to make less mistakes than the other guys. Think of football players on the golf course and you immediately stereotype players' styles by their position. Linemen and linebackers hit the ball a ton.
Quarterbacks have finesse and touch.
Kickers, they have technique. Much of it is like kicking a football. You want to have your hips and shoulders square. You want to finish the golf swing and feel yourself going through the ball. It's the same with kicking.
