What is your guys' ratio for AVERAGE driver distance and weight?
For those that are confused take your distance divided by weight and that should give you a number....
I'm around 125 pounds and my average distance is close to 230
thus, my ratio is 1.84

for comparison & fun, some tour players:

Tiger Woods : 1.63
Camilo Villegas: 1.86
Adam Scott: 1.77
Phil Mickelson: 1.49
Ernie Els : 1.42
KJ Choi: 1.54
Sergio Garcia: 1.84
Vijay Singh: 1.41
Geoff Ogilvy : 1.64
Jim Furyk: 1.51


top 10 driving distance(rank this week)

1.Bubba Watson: 1.75
2.John Daly: 1.42
3.JB Holmes 1.64
4.Robert Garrigus: 1.78

good thread. I was wondering something similar to this myself.

I weight 170ish and my driver average lately seems to be about 280. That would put me at 1.65. Fun thread!

Lol, If I could hit the ball 300 and play like a .5 handicap, I wouldn't mind being 230 lbs.

Dude, I think I hear a big steak calling your name...

haha yeah i'm tiny. i'm around 5'6. I just don't really gain weight because I have a sick high metabolism or something idk. I want to start gaining some more cause honestly I think my size (height + weight) limits my power. must start working out or something. and yeah i definitely eat a lot of fatty stuff. steak is delicious
