Yardages are measured to the center of the green.  Depending on the depth of the green, you probably hit that drive somewhere in the 260ish range..... Just sayin'.   ;-)

Yeah, it was about 270 in real world yards.

I don't understand this. You have pretty good yardage with your irons and down but when you get to 3 wood and driver, it kind of peaks off

It's funny, I see lots of people good with their irons, and expect amazing distances with their drivers only to be disappointed. Strange.

Angle of attack on driver especially can make one lose tons of distance

I started playing again about 7 months ago after about a 2 year layoff. I obviously got older and also heavier and I have lost a club length across the board.

I think you are doing great for your age. Seems like you posted realistic distances, something that 90% of players have hard time doing. Love seeing those 6i 150 and driver 250 plus.... ;)

I actually dont carry a driver at the moment, instead i play a 3 wood - the course where i play has very narrow fairways so being in position for the next shot is crucial

Averages, huh: I think most of you are BS'ing yourselves. Post your handicaps, the balls that you play,and the regions where you play with your distances and then let's see what we believe.

I play on the moon, with moon-rocks. My drive still hasn't landed yet...I'll let you know the distance when it does.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
