On a Day by Day basis which would you rather play?

It’s getting a touch boring now isn’t it

Guess was the same when it was Paddyk or BIM guy

You're free to tell on me if you think I'm breaking forum rules.

Who said anything about breaking forum rules

Ok yes it grammatically made sense , but lacked meaning. It's just a platitude along with nonsense like the woods are full of long drivers and all the other tired sayings that get wheeled out when distance is talked about.
Give me the option of 140 from the rough Vs 200 from the middle of the fairway, I'll take the rough all day long please.

I would agree with you on a number of courses, but not mine. From the middle you've got a shot, from the rough/trees you might not get a full swing or a line to the green.

I find my accuracy and shorter hitting seems to help me score better than colleagues that are smashing longer than me but hitting out of trees

My point stands, give everyone on the forum an extra 10 mph and they will improve, with few exceptions.

Give it a rest please, gents. If you can’t engage without arguing, don’t engage.

It’s not difficult.

Surely it’s very easy to understand

Hitting it longer is not great if you can find a fairway

If you already can't hit fairways that's a problem in itself, with or without more distance.

It is - getting extra distance to someone who can’t find a fairway just puts them further into the

Most should concentrate on keeping the ball in play first

Surely even you can understand that going further into trouble could be the difference between hitting it out of rough or a hazard to being deep in trees ,

Ten yards could be the difference between getting an ok lie in light semi rough to gouging out in thick rough

Or ten yards further in trouble could be ob as opposed to chipping out of trees

Distance is not the be all

It does when your trying to find it!

The 'debate' on the last few pages seems to be drifting further and further from the subject of the thread.

Most courses have graduated rough/hazards. First cut, semi rough, thick rough, trees, OB. The further from the fairway you are, normally the greater the hazard.

Thats just a convoluted way of saying the woods are full of long drivers. They are also full of short and medium range too.

Keep the ball in play to help score better
