I'm the same as you buddy, I've come to accept that I might hit a few big but bad tee shots in a round, but that's my game and I too wouldn't change it!!
Instead I've been working hard on my chipping and putting which has bought my game on so much, I WILL get into single figures this season!!
I will admit to taking great pleasure watching players off 5 or less looking bemused when a crappy 14 hacker nails a 320+ drive!!
What's rarer than hens teeth?
A crappy 14 handicapper hitting 320 yard drives and hitting the short stuff.
Of course im not saying it never happens but its rare.
I don't hit it 300 yards - can hit the odd one I think when conditions are right but I would always prefer to hit the fairway and then hit the green with my second as opposed to just hitting big
I have played with mid handicappers who hit it past me then look it me smugly - they then proceed to miss the green and take three to get up and down as I either par or birdie - but still smug that they out drive me
As the saying goes - drive for show !
I'd say on average I'd hit the fairway with a big drive about 7-9 times. But as you can see by my handicap reductions last year I'm heading in the right direction, the more I work on the business end the better my game becomes
Totally agree, which is why I've put a lot of time into the putt for dough part lol
Hold up ive just arrived on cookoo land.
Seriously 7 out of 9 is just not true,especially out at 300 yards.
I will tell you what a 5 handicapper will say to himself if you hit a 320 yard drive on the first[bandit]
then after your 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th he would understand why you were a 14 handicap.
Good luck to you :thup:
Don't forget the iron shots to get onto the green
I don't understand why I'd need to come on here and lie about how many fairways I've hit and how far they go??

Just in case anybody is wondering if this is forum yardages or real I can assure you its real.
I have seen it live :thup:

I think it is because you listen to people go on about how far they can hit the driver when in reality their average is not even close to what they think it is. For some like me who are probably up the big hitting end of the scale for a club golfer would still be very average on tour. Then when someone comes on here saying they are averaging distances like the big hitters on tour, well people just find it hard to believe. But having said that I have played with club golfers that hit it 20-30 yards past me, so it is not impossible.
Nor do I.
I do believe what your actually saying is your stats are better than any pro playing today.
Perhaps you just don't understand what your actually saying.
I understand exactly what I'm saying pal!! Yesterday for example I hit 7 drives down the middle so to speak and 2 just off by a couple of feet all between 270-345 (wind hurting a bit on some and helping a bit on others)
