Green paint over the mistakes?
How did he screw it up?

Did he go with the less common, but quite fashionable, vertical yard lines? They're more slimming.
Joking aside, I would second the green pain idea, but I have no previous experience with this.

Green paint...that's all I can say. You can usually wipe it up if its a few seconds or a few minutes after but other than that you're out of luck (up to my knowledge anyways).

I'd say get the grass cut really low and then throw down some green paint on it.

Very true
At one school I was at the freshman would help paint the numbers, we wound up with a 55 yard line,
Green paint and 0 stenciled fix, it was pretty funny

Cut low. Turn on sprinklers. Paint heavy.

There were years when I was tempted to line the field at 80 yds. cause we couldn't move the ball for Sh*t. The only thing that stopped me was knowing our opponent would have only scored that much quicker.  |

I'm a pretty horrible field painter guy... I use the green paint method for my many screw ups. I also try to paint as often as possible to keep the good stuff there and cut the bad stuff short.

Years ago in my first stop.
Everybody is out lining off the game field for the home opener after practice. It was a typical cool summer evening in SC; 95 degrees, 75% humidity. The brand new HC that had just got hired in June, sent somebody to the local Git-N-Go for a bag of gator waters. We're about done with the yard lines and only have the goal line to finish and then do the hashes and tick marks, when the guy gets back.
We had just finished the 5 yard line going in when the gator waters arrived as we were moving to the goal line. Everybody dropped what they were doing to take a break.
While we're taking a gator water break, the HC's 8 year old son was out there with us trying to help. When he saw that he had chance to run the paint sprayer, he jumped on it and was dead eyeing that string line keeping that paint sprayer nice and straight and even.
Too bad that the string line on one side was still at the 5 yard line , but the other end was down at the goal line.
We had a nice parabola across the field house side goal line for the home opener.

My first year of coaching our head coach sent THE MANAGER to paint the numbers. He did a pretty good job. G on goalline. 01 on the ten. 02 on the 20. He had the numbers as if you were looking at them from the middle of the field.
