Simply not true. Almost no-one ever talks about distance on here, unlike many other golf forums.
Anyone that does is immediately met with a chorus of naysayers, it is pretty sad really.
Puts "Forum Distances" into context...

its one of the sacred forum cows.... thou shalt not claim a driver carry distance over 230 yards.
325, was the grass growing towards the tee?
uphill?
into the wind?
Would expect something closer to 350 to win

Didn't Johnson hit one 346 on one hole, and Day clout one around 380 in the last round too?

Obviously as people have already stated the drive had to land in the fairway and they got one smack each
Dustin Johnston and Smack a bit close together there, probably going to be moderated

So watching Sky and they have just mentioned a Longest drive comp during practice at PGA.
Won with a distance of 325 yards.
And yet there are Club golfers on here regularly claming they drive that...?:clap:
I hit one 326 yards on Sunday I should have been there

In the time that I have been postings here and attending meets, I'm still waiting to see these 'forum distance hitters in action. I hit a pretty decent ball off the tee and only one person I have seen play who I would class as a bigger hitter is Fundy. But then again he is like a gorilla on steroids when he hits it

Monty said he was disappointed he hit the fairway, as it meant they measured his at 260 yards.

Average vs one-off is where often people get all worked up
A guy gets amped that he hit a 300 yard drive downhill, on a baked fairway with a bit of a tail wind and all of a sudden all the whinging starts. Who gives a damn anyway either way?
Not sure why so many like to try and prove someone wrong. Can you imagine having a drink with someone like that?
3 pints later...guy 1: "do you play football?"
guy 2: "yeah, you?"
guy 1: "definitely, love it...I was pretty good in my youth, had a trial at West Ham"
guy 2: " no you didnt, you are lying and mildly dishonest!"
guy 1: "cant wait until we next meetup"
