(Is that actually equal to 26mph? I didn't do the math on it.)
It's 26.8 MPH = 39.3 FPS = 12 m/s

The answer to the original question is: Maybe?

A shot from there at max velocity - aimed dead center - should just skim the bottom of the hole. But that dosen't account for drag nor the spin on the ball. If the ball has top spin, then it won't hang as well and would probablly miss low. OTOH, a shot with enough backspin should be able to hit it.
