Driver yardage averages

"No because you are 74 for gods sake" anything might have been less rude than this..... I am sure I know a few 74 year olds who could kick your butt...

Also, calm down a little, no one is as passionate and seemingly easy to frustrate as you on this topic.... Most of the posters are here for sport not the content of the post. Even the OP realized that he had gone down a blind ally and backed out.

I hadn't backed out of anything, I only originally posted this purely out of interest.... Even as a new member to this forum I was surprised at most people's negativity towards it straight away! By no means was this meant to start silly keyboard arguments which seems some are having, as I said my actual driver distance is anywhere between 260 - 275 yards, I am however only 24 and relatively athletic, if someone who is 74 and still playing let alone driving over 150 that's an accomplishment in its own IMO

It's ok Brendy there are a couple of short par 3's at Galgorm so you can pull the driver out again .

Why would you troll to start with? Hardly seems conducive to making friends!!!!!!

Personally I'll take my paltry 230 yards every time. I know what I am trying to do and distance isn't the be all

I hit a wedge 200 yards at Camberley witnessed by forumers.


Push right over the out of bounds fence, ran 50 yards down a path and into a tunnel, where it was found by a walker who brought it back to me. It could have gone miles if he had pocketed it.

I played a quick 9 holes tonight, 6 drives and recorded distance using Skycaddy.
228, 247, 233, 238, 241 and 196 (big slice into trees )

Was interesting to see but had an inkling that I was not far off. Its not big but it was quite clever tonight... ok maybe not on the 9th.

I'm not a big hitter by any stretch, this is a myth that goes round the NW in case anyone thinks I have the cojones to take on the GM Long Drive crew :whoo:

Iain, we need binoculars to see where your drives go!!!

What's everyone's yardage average when putting?

my scotty is 4* of loft, my ss is 107ish, so 280 ish?? lol

We really need a forum meet in a big field/range where we can have a go and see what's really going on.

Could get all participants to write down their expected distances and then match that against their actual distances. One with the biggest % deviance buys the drinks?

Come on GMm, you know you want to......

if i win the euro millions tonight i will personally organise this and have it videoed lol

At pros day last Saturday they had a launch monitor set up to test out some Wilson drivers. Hit my own driver first, awful swing, 236 recorded. Then had a go with the Wilson and cracked it, right out the middle, perfect!

240 with a good swing! I'm a club longer than a fair number of folk I play with too! Maybe after I'd warmed up a bit that would go up to 245 but I never get the fascination with amateurs thinking they hit it miles, and taking an 8 iron for 150 yard par 3's. I hit a 6 iron that distance, nice and smooth.
