Josh Scobee spent a 12-year NFL career trying to kick a football between two yellow posts. Now he spends a lot of his time aiming golf balls at a yellow flagstick. And he's pretty darn good at the latter, too.

We here at Golf Digest have known about Scobee's on-course prowess for awhile. The former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker was No. 1 on our 2015 top-100 list of pro-athlete golfers with a plus-2.5 handicap. Judging by this shot he shared on Twitter, his golf game is still sharp in retirement.
