    How far do you hit your clubs

    Love the flat out thing with golfers. Why give it all you've got and push it when this tends to bring in all the mistakes? Hit the ball within your ability. Distance is knowledge, accuarcy is crucial, playing within yourself is skill.

    How far do you hit your clubs

    Good distances but how many fairways are you hitting from your drives, greens in regulation from second shots, putts are you taking and how is your course management? Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Have some lessons and get a lesson plan with your pro. It will pay dividends.
