Any one know where I can get stats for PGA players, specifically their average score from say 150 yards. Need to settle an argument where guy tells me his dad can play in low 70s while only driving ball ball off the tee 160 yards. He has an excellent short game in fairness but I'm thinking not PGA standard. I'm firmly in the long game camp. You can't shoot low consistently unless you driving it long, certainly longer than 160

I simply searched for "PGA tour stats" and ended up here, scoring with regard to par from 125 to 150 yards.  There lots of other stats available

He could… if he's playing pretty short tees. I mean, they might have to be 5200 yards or so, but he could.

Sorry, what has this to do with 'Tour stats'? If the idea is that you have to be a PGA Tour pro level short game to shoot low 70s driving it 160ish, then you may be overestimating the difficulty in doing so playing super short tees as @iacas mentioned. 

Obviously I don't know the course/courses your friend is taking about but we have quite a few super seniors (70+) at my home course who do just that from super short tees (5,400 yards). There's only one par 4 over 300 yards. Majority average 260ish. The two par 5s are less than 400 yards. From the short tees the margin of error in keeping the ball in play is super wide. Additionally they don't hit hard enough to hit big hooks and slices.  They don't 'throw darts' but instead run up the ball on the green or around it all day. Not terribly hard.

Been told these are courses are all 6000+ so assuming most par 4s are 300+  and the par 5s are 500+. When I hear BS I have to call it out. This guy needs to be packing a game equal to or better than most guys in the bottom half of the 150-175 RTP stats to be shooting the scores I'm being asked to believe. Didn't use the keyword RTP when I was googling. Thanks @DaveP043 for that 🙂👍

I play a 7000 yard course… that has tees at 4700.

      Day 186 (04 Nov 24) -  More tempo work today (6i into the net)….did notice that the more I “thought” about it, the less solid the strike.  Side bar - thinking it might be time for a new target flag (the hole 1st appeared Thurs and has now grown to look rather “scowled in appearance”):   Finished up with sone bump and runs with the 6i in the backyard…

      Four shots? And if one of them is good, do you really keep hitting more? Even if you hit all four, since it's basically a four-person scramble… but even better since you can learn directly from previous shots, that's gonna be like 120 full swings. I'd go pretty high in the handicap range against a Tour player (assuming it's a typical 7000 yard course or shorter) given four attempts.
