Reading this thread I can't help but wonder if many of the responses are from people list their all time longest shot, are lying their asses off or just don't have a freaking clue how far they hit their clubs. Seriously, the vast majority of touring pros don't drive as far as the responders to this post and since when does half the free world hit 210 yard 5 irons?

Anyway, here's my numbers:.
Driver: 280
3 Wood: 232
5W (Tight Lies) 205
5 Iron: 170
6 Iron: 160
7 Iron: 150
8 Iron: 140
9 Iron: 130
PW: 120
52: 100
56: 75

I've done a little more playing since i last posted. The longest par 4 i have driven with my driver is slightly down hill and 442 yards with damp conditions after raining in the morning. Everyone i play with think i am the longest hitter they have ever seen. Last week i also played a 2 iron off the tee to come short of a 348 yard par 4 with a little down wind and i accidently drove the green and missed a woman by about 1 meter... Im having problems with my 50-150 yard shots because i hit my 52 wedge up to 150 yards and i just can't control the distance. I hit a 9 iron on the weekend from 170 yards and it went straight in the trees 30 yards over the back of the green (lost ball). I need to do something like shorten my swing to hit the ball not as far and keep it in play.

I played on the weekend and shot 12 pars, 3 birdies with 2x 3 putt and i finished with a N.R. because i hit 3 drives off of the golf course and into houses / roads way way off track. Im talking 300 yards right of target line...

I am big headed and i love it. Try it yourself and see how much your game improves.

Driver:200-210
3 wood: 175-190
3 Hybrid: 165
5 iron: 150
6 iron: 140
7 iron: 130
8 iron: 120
9 iron: 110
P wedge:100

These are generalizations BTW. I'm not one hundred percent sure how accurate these are because I just got new clubs a few weeks back.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Zappa, are you carrying 15 clubs? naughty naughty!

Ha!.. I guess I am.

When I got my new irons I put the 4I in my bag, not realizing that was #15. I never use my 3W (wrong flex) or my 3H or 4I anyway. I should probably take out the 3H because it has the exact same distance as my 5W.

Note: My irons are brand new so these distances are a combo. of my old Nicklaus irons and the KE4s. The distances are my BEST estimate using the driving range. Can't wait to get a laser range finder so I can nail them down a little better.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
