Hi all, can anyone give me an average club distance that i should be hitting with these clubs:

Hybrid,6i 7i, 8i,9i,pw

What someone who is a beginner (been playing for 6 months now)  should hit these clubs ? I found, for example that my pw goes about 110 yards and my 9i goes about 120

Is that good for a beginner, or i need to work on it ?

Thanks !

Depends is the only right answer. You need to worry about consistency and proper gapping throughout your bag. Your distances depend on your physical abilities, balls, and specific club design. As long as you have about 10-15 yards between your clubs, especially at the high end, it's ok. If you're an able bodied fellow, I could see you hitting a 9 at least 130 with the caveat that that corresponding increase needs to hold throughout the set. I can delofy my 9 into a 7 and hit it 20 yards farther but that's harder with your 5 or hybrid.

It will be a while before you have a reliable average. Even then moving target. I use Game Golf and my club performance varies with each round.

Answer to both questions is a resounding yes. Those are very respectable distances for a beginner AND you most definitely need to work on it. (You never won't need to work on it if improving is your main goal) ;)

    • A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.
    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
