First time using 3 wood hit ball 300+ yards

[Undr Par]

You are officially my hero. Somebody wake this guy up.

I took it that Elsfan was just being funny, to go along with the thread of hitting a 3w over 300yds....

[MountainHip]

Does your course not give out scorecards? How can a hole be 350-400 yards?

It's like that commercial, where the guy says he shot "around" a 75, the next quote is "Hey Bill can a guy shoot around a 75?"

Bill says no.

[Andrew]

SO if this hole was 305-400 and you were 10-20 yds off the green then this shot was possibly.............

Hm hitting a 3 wood farther than your driver isnt unheard of.

most people (most people, not all) use their 3w over their D for placing purposes, better control, they are more accurate with it, not for distance

May I ask what 3-Wood you're using?

This guy is like the Carrot-Top of the sandtrap. Enjoyable in short bursts.

In no way did any of this stuff happen for this guy. He's making all this shit up, trying to get a rise out of people, (which happened), and hes probably sitting back there laughing. I would bet he cant break 100, never even played from the championship tees that so called day he played golf, and probably never even got a new three wood in the mail. Hes basically full of shit.

Welcome to the internet.

this thread is meaningless without some swing videos.

If you believed everything on this board, you would believe that there is an inverse relationship between distance and handicap. It seems like the only people here who don't consistantly hit it 300 are the single digit handicaps.

There was an interesting report that says the average guy who shoots between 90-95 drives the ball 192 yards on average. They overestimate they drive the ball by about 30 yards on average, with higher handicappers being twice as far off as lower handicappers. Six irons and wedges are over-estimated by 12 and 6 yards respectively.

It must be a macho thing, being able to move your golf ball great distances. Nothing appeals more to these kind of guys than busting long ball down the middle from the tips and hitting low raking iron shots into greens. I think everyone suffers from this to at least some degree (although it varies widely from almost non-existant, to the other end, the OP here). If I could hit 3 wood 300 yards every day of the week I would be on tour. Or at least in a long drive championship. I once hit a 3 wood - I hit a draw that landed on top of a hill and bounced on down into a lake, about 300 yards away... hitting 3 anyway. Actually, here's the report http://www.mediafire.com/?bv2hdtms43t Driving distance is on page 12.

i can't hit my 3 wood. so it just hangs out and talks to my hybrids in my bag that i don't use too much now.

Thanks Lamebums, course the naysayers will poo poo that report & state that since it came out in 05 & they have the latest & greatest driver which added 75 yds to their drive.

Ya got me.

[bwinger79]

380yd 3 wood.... LOL. Someone needs to wake up this pillow biter. As strong and flexible as Tiger Woods. Sorry.... but no. I believe that you previously stated that you used to be a body builder. Every body builder I have ever seen has a very limited range of motion in everything they do, so how could you possibly say that you are as flexible as Tiger?

Now..... how long was that hole again? How do you not know the yardage of the hole you claim to have hit this monster 3 wood on? I'll break it down for ya. The card said 350, but that was from the tips and you were playing from the whites, so it was probably 290-320. What you thought was 20yds away from the green was more likely 60. So you hit about a 230-260yd 3 wood. Good job!!!!! Keep posting man...... you write some of the funniest things I have ever read. A little pee almost squirted out I was laughing so hard the first time I read your post.

When I started out and couldn't score I did the same thing, I would take take solice in the fact that I thought I was hitting great drives, as in my mind, it gave me a base to play off of. However I was probably hitting 210 and thinking I was hitting 225. What ever some people need to hype themselves up, I guess we can just ignore it or laugh at it.

I love GitRDone's posts because he knows how to make you all post.

His next thread will be about how he made seven putts all from 35 feet or more and you all will take the bait.

Well, no one takes him seriously anymore, I don't think. And when the day comes in the distant future that he finally gets rid of his beginner's slice and finally hits the ball at least 220 yards, then no one will believe him by then.

No, his next thread will be about how he has never missed a green in his life and never will.
