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.

I could not care less how far you do or dont, hit a ball. Golf is about alot more than that. But I would have thought with the rep you are starting to get on here. Plus maybe at your club (behind your back). The best place for it would be down the pan!

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 ..

I'll hold my hands up to bringing smug satisfaction to this particular banquet.He's quoting me.

I get tired of hearing on forums and club houses how people can bomb drives, but when it comes to it, they are averaging mid-200's, just like the rest of us mortals.I have to be honest I do grin to myself when I occasionally outdrive these types.
 
I have been having a really, really, uber bad day and this thread coupled with the G20 review has cheered me up a bit.

So thank you.

And no, I don't believe you but I really don't care. Should you not be posting in the "Ask the experts" section a thread along the lines of "I'm a tour calibre driver but can't play golf, please help?".

If you can get the rest of your game sorted you'd be laughing.
 
Youtube can solve the issue here.

Steve, get yourself to a range or a fairway and send your mate 315 yards away with a video camera. Obviously give him some kind of device (borrow one if ya dont have one) like gps or range finder and smash some balls at him. Make it so its obvious for us all to see the distance is accurate.

Upload the vid to youtube and post up the link.

I reckon its a half hour job personally.

Cheers.

Ash!!

i totally agree, i used to think i could hit it long, i'm 6 foot 2 13 stone still fairly young, been playing the game on and off for the last 15 years.

Got a GPS device for xmas, despite what i thought i still haven't been able to hit a drive 300 yards, including with the wind a good lash and off the button


300 yards is a long way, i think people don't realise how far, just going by the length of the hole and say relative distance to the 150 marker is not an accurate measurement

Apart from the bit about height and weight, cant see the connection with 300yd drives.
 
imagine how far he would hit it if we was 6 foot 2,

i do know mcilroy has excellent technique obviously, i haven't, but i have been playing 15 years had lots of lessons read lots of books played with lots of different golfers, i undertstand a fair bit about the golf swing i don't really want go down the route of how far i can hit it, but i can't hit it 300 yards, i don't think i have ever seen anybody hit a genuine 300 yard driver in the winter, and i suspect steve thinks he has by making rough guesses but in reality they are probably not 300 yard drives
 
I hit a 325 yard drive last year in the Volvo Matchplay area reg final.

It was the 10 a Newbourgh on Ythan, trouble is its was slightly down hill on a rock hard links fairway with a 40MPH tail wind. Went about 170 coming back the other way though ;)
