In all seriousness, from where he was positioned, a 7iron shouldnt go that far hahaha
Its the height he gets off his shots as well, and there not just balooning into the air, its a penetrating flight that just seems to rise and rise..

Yes, he's got some power when he strikes, that 7 iron must have gone nearly 200 yds when I think about it.
What did you score in the end?

103 - I completely bottle jobbed the last 3 holes, 8,7,7 !!
With 3 holes left i was on 81, so needed to go 6,5,5 to break my PB...didnt quite go to plan

Not that difficult really. I can hit my 7 iron 210. They key is to strike the ball just below the equator with the leading edge of the club. Simple

Unlucky, I can see you being consistently in the mid 90s before long, especially with your fitted clubs on the way

Er that's what ballooning shots do.
Does sound impressive distances, but should be much lower handicap with those sort of distances! I know a couple of scratch players who don't hit that distance - and a couple who are about that.

Must be a hell of a player.
9 handicap eh.
Average score mid to late 80's.
Why does distance impress golfers so much when the game is all about getting the ball in the hole in as FEW shots as possible.

Because its man stuff. Why do we like fast cars if its just a way to get from a to b? Because its cool. I've never had someone nudge me on the tee and say "watch this guy, he hits it really straight" people who say they dont care about distance are the same as the people that say beauty is on the inside! They're ugly!

Put simply if you hit it fairly straight, distance makes the game much easier.

Or he could just be delofting the club and have strong grip? It really depends on what the ball does when it lands.

I really want to believe you, I really do but a 257yd 4i makes it difficult. Where did he get his Sky Caddy?

Of the 20 scratch and +hcap guys I will be competing against next week, approximately none of the hit a 4 iron 257.
Of the other 40 players off 3.8 and better, approximately none of them hit 4iron 257.
Of the 100+ pros @ a pro am festival I played in a couple of weeks ago, approximately none of them hit their 4iron 257.
This guy is loooooong (hmmmmmmm)!!!???
