Skippy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 For the poll give a guesstimate of your average drive with the driver. (Perch - you can use your two iron.) After you fill out the poll give us a indication of how far you "can" hit one if all goes right and the wind, elevation, etc. are all on your side that day. I don't mean your one is a million shot. I mean that perfect shot that you let loose when all is going right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 depends ..sometimes if my driver does not drop me off close enough to the curb i hit him right in the nose as hard as i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I suck at golf. I'm out once a year with the Fraternity reunion. I'm lucky if I can follow my ball off the tee to see where it lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 My average is a little over 250 but probably not 275. When I get one and am in a grove I can easily get it out there a little over 300. I have driven greens that were listed over that 300 plenty of times but that is usually the result of a perfect everything and a downhill shot or very dry ground. Lets hear it hackers.

Chargerz Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 225-249 yards on the average. Because of my low back pain I've had to slow my swing down and shorten it up as I've gotten older. I'm happy with my distance as long as I'm in the fairway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzal rhomb Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 225 to 249. had to go to a higher loft to cut down on my slice. One guy in my usual foursome hits em 300 regularly. It's a thing of beauty - slight draw etc. But when he goes bad - he goes bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can shoot two or three under par with almost no problem. Here is the kicker. He only plays about five times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNasty Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have new irons, but need new woods. With my starter set driver that I have, I can hit a pretty consistent 240-250ish with a slight draw. I have tried out other drivers, and have hit some that must have gone around 280 under good conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I hit about 230-250 usually. I've been known to rip 50 yards further than that, but I always slow my swing down for greater accuracy. The extra yards usually aren't worth it if it means every 5th one is a two stroke penalty. Slow and steady. And I very rarely try to crush it unless I can reach a par 5 in 2. If I can go 4-iron, 8-iron and be on the green... why push it so I can swing a wedge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 ... why push it so I can swing a wedge? 1305389[/snapback] Or swing at wiegie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 "..how far do you hit your driver? ..." Thought the object was to hit the ball WITH the driver. What do you hit your driver with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I average about 265 with the occasional 275. Seattle Lawdawg can crush the ball, my estimate for him would be an average of 300 per drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunysteelfly76 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have new irons, but need new woods. . 1305307[/snapback] Same here. With new irons I'm a full club longer, it took me a while to adjust to that. I'm hoping for the same result when I get new woods in the next couple of years. Could put me in that 225-250 category.

Deacon Bill Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Usually my longest drive is from my house to the golf course. Tiger Woods 2006 for pc: I average 340 yds. Real life: 225 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 i'm a chitty golfer, havent even been on a course in 2 or 3 years. but for a few years i went to the driving range fairly regularly, and as a result the one part of my game that was halfway decent was off the tee. pretty good distance too, i would say 260-275 average. but my game from 60 yards in may be the worst in the history of mankind.

In a typical course closer to sea level, this might put him at 130-150 usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 i can put it out there 275 and push 300 under the right conditions with my new clevelands. i'm freakin' huge. of course, the problem is, after putting it out there like a monster, it then takes 2 more to get it on the green and 3 putts to get it in the hole ...

I think it is in Zainsville Oh. It is a two hour drive from the Columbus. With some notice would you be able to make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
