Far less than the amount of people that call BS for you hitting your driver around 300 yards on average.

Posting how far you "should" hit your driver seems pretty silly to me.

Right, you lost 40-70 yards on your driver and don't know why?

Look, in the end I don't really care how far you claim to hit the ball, but you should find someone here on the forum and go play with 'em. I'd be curious to see what they have to say at the end. As for your question, the answer is simple: go get a lesson. I think it will be a humbling experience.

i was sayin average of 250 as opposed to 290 i hit 2 today at around 280 and i know that you know alot more about golf than i probably ever will,so ill ask you.if i changed my swing to a flatter plane could it affect distance like that?

A flatter plane would likely give you more distance if you are as steep into the ball as others have alluded to.

      Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit.

      Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.

      Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
