So childish.  I guess my drives are so unreal, eh? Come back when you crush em 320 consistent.  I went to the range earlier and I had a group of about 10 kids standing behind me gasping and clapping after every shot. I had a 100 ball bucket, do the math.

Pffffttttt.....dude, yer a shortknocker. Come back when you can get some distance.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Have you considered a longer stiffer shaft to help with your distance?  Or maybe hitting real balls instead of practice balls at the range.  Your lack of distance is probably because of the practice balls, they're like rocks.  Just keep practicing and maybe try stack and tilt or something.

I'm trying to work the math out on this one. 100 ball bucket and 10 kids = 320 yards, right.  So if you hit a 50 ball bucket and there are 5 kids watching does that mean you would hit it 160 yards?

Good attitude. There's no shame in being a shortknocker, it's not all about distance...

Wouldn't it be 80 yards? 100 ball bucket and 5 kids would be 160 no? This may require RadarNinja's trackman.

If you start a thread talking about how far you hit it, you have to expect to take some heat.  You're not the first guy to get on the internet and say they bomb it over 300.  If you do, that's awesome, we're just having some fun here that more related to these kind of threads.

100 ball bucket + 10 kids in awe = 300 minimum 350 maximum

50 ball bucket + 5 kids in awe = more energy, less pressure = 320 minimum 390 maximum

I don't think so ... progolf doesn't *****foot around with wimpy algebra, he's only into logarithms.

I said logarithms, not freaking calculus!  You're making my head explode with this witchcraft!

This is awesome, however, not quite as funny as saying "Why the f**k ..." in Captain Pickard's voice in my head for most of these memes. :)

Also, Mike, leave your driver at home on Sunday, because the longest hole they have is only 615 ... it'll be useless there! ;)
