if its playing 200yds i'll usually hit a 4-iron. tailwind i'll hit a 5-iron. headwind a 3-iron.

Exactly how I play it. Even then I've over hit a 200yd hole by 20 yards with the 4 iron.

At my golf course hole 8 is a 210 yard pard 3. I hit on with a 3 iron, i ended up beinga little llong, probably around 215-220.

I love to hate this damn game.

I've hit anywhere from 3-wood to 5-iron (assuming a flat hole). The 7th at Lake View (see sig) is about 200 yards, and almost always straight into the wind.

Dead calm, flat hole = 4iron. Might come up a little short sometimes but it's a fairly reliable club for me...meaning I can hit it straight most of the time.....3i is probaby the right club distance wise but accuracy with the 3i is another story.

Change your signature. People like you are the reason people in america have a low opinion about your country. Dont quote someone on something so stupid and think you are going to get away with it just because someone famous said it.

It's just a funny quote man, chill out.

Thanks for the wonderful answers. Someone told me to grip down a fairway wood 3 off-the ground (no tee). That might create a higher ball flight and less distance. That might me it... cause I hit 200 yards from the fairway with a 3 wood. I just forget!!!

Someone here can hit 5 iron 200 yards away!! You are a pro material buddy...

First of all, I live in Utah, not Australia.

Second of all, I don't expect anyone to take that quote at face value, and personally I think it's quite funny.

for a par-3 200 yard (even lie or green is higher than tee) i would use a 3 wood but not a full swing. a nice smooth swing. ( i have yet to check my swing speed but for example; if my avg swing speed is 100 i would try to go 75-80)

Hit a 3-iron today to an uphill 208-yard par three with the pin in the front (i.e. 200 yards would have been 4 yards short, but 220 would have still been putting). And, again, uphill.

It's pretty much a stock 4-iron for me, but depending on the location of the flag, the wind, etc. I'll hit anywhere from a 3W to a 6-iron.
