Arent we missing the point of the OPs thread? He's willing to bet that he can do it. Yes it sounds like another Timgolfy wind up but give the guy a break until he's had a chance to prove himself. BTW I dont think he's saying that he averages 300 yds only that he can hit 300yds on a regular basis - its not the same thing.
All I will say is that 300yds is either impossible or quite straightforward depending on tee elevation, fariway slope, wind strength and direction, air temperature, hardness of fairway, ball quality, etc.
In other words from an elevated tee position, on a bone hard downhill fairway with a following wind and a Pro V1 in the middle of summer. Sure 300 yds is do-able.

I won't lose. But lets just say I did. The person gets the smug satisfaction of being able to say on here that I was a bullplopper and my reputation (considering people from my local club could possibly be reading this) goes down the pan.

Still cant take in the bit where, a golfer with 115mph swing speed....??.....300yds + drives.....??.....
Is buying a REGULAR FLEX Ping G20.........!!!!!
There would be dozens of shafts better suited to a swing like that
Go get fitted......Properly
They say a proper fitting will probably gain you 20yds
WOW ....... Now that would be something

what do you play off steve?? and are you claiming these drives of 300yrd to be hitting fairway semi rough?? not 2 or 3 fairways away,
also what you calling regular? 7 out of 10
not impossible by no means ,my regular alliance partner plays off plus 2 and he regular sends it 300 plus even this time of year,seen him through the back on our 1st in a summer 354yrds, but he does practise nearly everyday

What reputation is that,you've 30 posts ,2 on the G20 the rest on i hit 325 yards and throwing out challenges like confetti.
The longest hitter on the PGA TOUR last season according to shotlink was Holmes with an average 318 yards thats average not a once in a blue moon.
There's no way you could hit 325 with a Reg shaft with that swing speed it would be like spaghetti,we've heard all that crap before, i've seen in once here a mate of thecraws who hit over 300 yards, Titliest didn't have a shaft to fit him with , so wake up mate.

Steve can i be honest with ya here man , if you can do this fair play to ya, happy days, yipeee good for you & all that , so you can hit the ball 300 + yards .. seriously mate nobody else realy cares because unfortunatly theres alot more to golf than that .. we all slag & joke & tease each other but one thing you will find we do agree on .. all that matters is what you sign the card for at the end of each & every round , i find it strange that you even found it necessary to post this thread ..
Also can you define regular basis in the context of 18 holes , 9 times 10 times what ? also if your short game is woeful , dont hit your drive as far & use a mid iron for the second instead of a short iron ,, & i must apologise because you keep saying your reputation is on the line .. what reputation is that , alot of people on here have reputations , some good, some ?? questionable lets say .. i am not aware of yours up to what you just said , my apologies if i should be ..
Smug satisfaction ?? strange comment again , we get great craic & banter slaging winding people up , smug satisfaction . wrong forum me thinks

I'll take ya money if your ever in ballymena, ill even make it more interesting, ill wager that I can out drive you more than you out drive me, only balls on the fairway count. I'll pay your green fee if you win, if u lose you pay it back ?
If you play cold hard links courses yes 350 is easily doable, if you play swampy we parkland this time of year, 275 carry is admirable as there is no run out.
BTW are we talking straight 300+ or a nice big curvy one that you can only guess where it ended up?:thup:

How about Steve puts up £50, and if anyone wants to call him on it, they put up £50. Whoever loses, their money goes to a charity of the winner's choosing.
Otherwise it's just whippy shafts at dawn isn't it?!

Oh dear, here we go again...
For the record, I don't care how far you hit it and I certainly won't be giving you any of my cash so I can spend a round of golf looking for your ball in the trees
