Do you know people that think they drive the ball further than they actually do?

The only 300 yard drives I have had were either cart path or huge decline aided.

I am a decent driver of the ball too, 105 SS ~240-260 carry.

exactly. I hit it arouns 245-255 with about 230 of carrying pretty consistantly. For me a great drive is 270.

Again, I said this earlier, but I think that the elevation has something to do with it as does humidity(?). At higher elevations I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the ball travels further due to thinner air(?). If anyone can confirm this for me I would be much obliged.

Maybe all of the 300 yard drivers don't live in Illinois

True, almost all 300 yard hitters live in Fantasyland.

I can hit the ball 250 upwards, which is a real shame because judging on that distance at my age I should be playing better, but instead I screw everything up after the tee shot.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      From what I’ve read, it was in the manufacturing process and how the covers were nicking pretty easy.  He has had to resource his factory as the one used earlier is now a TM owned facility.  Initial reports seem to indicate the redesign is going to be a winner…

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!
