290yds - does that qualify for forum distance?!

[AmandaJR]

10th hole at Polzeath today and playing downwind. If you can carry the ball just over 200yds it's on a downslope for another 90 odd until a small area of rough on a plateau...

So my new PB is 290yds - gutted not to get 300! :swing:

Missed the birdie putt though!

 

[Alex1975]

Hehe nice.... 10 yards of "forum" average

 

[FairwayDodger]

yeah, not bad.... three wood?

 

[Crawfy]

Good to see your hitting that 4-iron well ne:

 

[AmandaJR]

Four - don't carry a three

 

[One Planer]

Not and for a pitching wedge

Oh I thought 290 yards was the Birdie putt. I'd of made it I reckon but keep trying.

Only counts if its with a 5...:ears::thup::cheers::clap:

 

[ruff-driver]

Not bad for a lass i 'spose :mmm:

But 300 uphill into wind starts you into the forum club ....just :thup:

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Nowhere near forum distance.

410 and 398 yards for me.......gale behind, downhill, baked fairways and some lucky bounces.
Oh and a 1.62 wound ball.
When I was an 8 stone youth

 

[Val]

It might of its all uphill carry

 

[Face breaker]

Nah, nowhere near enough to qualify as a "forum distance" but it qualifies as a damn fine drive in my book, on an average day I usually put my "3 wood" somewhere in the region of 200-250yds although I struggled today, to much bloody wind !...:thup:

 

[backwoodsman]

Nope. Bit of a girlie hit if you ask me.



And only about 50yards past me.

 

[Leereed]

Did you fat it?

 

[Hobbit]

So my new PB is 290yds

That's one hell of a long putt! To break the 300 barrier you need to hit at least a 7 iron.

 

[JustOne]

If you can carry the ball just over 200yds...

So it's a 6 iron then???

 

[Paul77]

Heard a guy once carried 250 left handed hitting it with the back of the club.

 

[full_throttle]

two drives over 300yds this week, verified by my playing partner, both downwind on a links course

We never count links golf - no trees to bounce off

 

[walliams8]

Probably about average with half the claims on this forum !
