The average guy on the street would have a 33% chance of making a free throw. Some more, some less.

Soccer penalty kick with a good goalie? 20% at most.

The field goal seems easy, but probably is not in reality. 20%

A 6-foot putt would be the least likely. 10%

Well there you go. I'm at least 70% on the free throw.

I'm pretty sure there's no way I'd score a PK with a goal keeper. If the putt doesn't have any break in it, I think I'd do better than 1 in 10, but not much better. The FG kick seems a bit of a wild card to me - 25 yards is probably the maximum distance where I think I might have a chance but I never could hit it right when I was younger and I have no reason to think I could do it now. Very, very low odds.

ages ago, someone here posted a video of a college coach after practice having all the non kickers attempt a 30 yard field goal

I think only one or two made it

Penalty kick for me.

I'm not a soccer player, but I'd say I have at least a 60% chance of faking out someone on which way I'm going to kick a ball, which gives me a much higher chance than taking a free throw because I suck at that. It's all timing on a penalty kick: can you make the goalie commit to a direction a millisecond before you actually kick the ball? And I don't even have to get the ball off the ground like a field goal requires.

As for golf? Just no.
 
If you ask me today, tacoes.

My playing days, penalty kicks, and I'd let you choose which leg you want me to kick the ball with. I never missed a penalty kick.
