In 1970, George Blanda was just getting started. He threw a tying touchdown pass with 1:34 remaining and then kicked the game-winning 52-yard field goal in the final seconds the following week in a 23-20 win over Cleveland.
George Blanda died September 27, 2010, just last week.
But in 1970, Frank Dempsey (with the Chucago Bears) kicked a 63 yard field goal to win the game.
So I guess that answer would be FRANK DEMPSEY.
Tom Dempsey kicked a 63 yarder in 1970. The only other kicker to be succesfull from this distance was Jason Elam in 1998.

What is the shortest field goal in football history?
In 1970 Tom Dempsey of the New Orleans Saints kicked a 63 yard field goal. In the same game he kicked an 8 yard field goal. Is his 8 yard field goal the record for the 'shortest' field goal in NFL History?No, the shortest field goal in NFL history I can find on record is this 6-yard field goal by Cleveland Browns kicker Don Cockroft.http://www.mmbolding.com/Monday/The_First_Three_Monday_Night_Football_Games.htmI'd disregard the above claim of Cockroft's 6-yard field goal for these reasons:1. pro-football-reference.com has the only box score I could find for that game and lists it as being 27 yards. It was also the only FG scored in that game so there's no possible confusion between this FG and any others.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197009210cle.htm2. pro-football-reference.com also has Don Cockroft's career log for all of his made field goals and if you click on the "Dist" header it'll sort them out by distance. Doing this reveals that his shortest field goal was actually 8 yards and confirms that the 6-yard field goal claimed in the above link was indeed 27 yards once you locate that game in the middle of where his 27-yard field goals appear in that list.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/c/cockrdon01/field-goals/3. After spending several minutes searching on Google, I couldn't find any other sources to corroborate that link's claim of a 6-yard FG.4. Field goals are attempted roughly 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Unless the format used to be different, this would suggest the line of scrimmage was one yard deep in the endzone.Update:After a little more research I found evidence of at least two 7-yard field goals, one in the NFL and the other in the AFL:On September 26, 1954 George Blanda made one for the Bears against the Lions.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/195409260det.htmOn September 29, 1968 Gino Cappelletti made one for the Patriots against the Broncos but this is grey area stuff regarding NFL history since it occurred in the AFL.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/196809290den.htm

It depends on where you play and what your Handicap is. The usual pay found in America for a pro is $4,000 a month per a goal in your handicap rating. This is explained below.1 goal pro = $4,000 a month.2 goal pro = $8,000 a month.3 goal pro = $12,000 a month.4 goal pro = $16,000 a month.This is not always the case as where after 5 goals you are usually paid a whole lot more.
