Hahahahahahaha.

[ymerej1881]

That's okay if you laugh. The people I play against do too at first.

[TyCobb]

With those distances everything should be a par three for you. Is your putting that bad?

[ymerej1881]

it is.

I usually hit driver lob wedge on par 4's, driver 8i on par 5's. Someday my short game and putter won't betray me...

Driver - 285
LW - 80

everything else in between ;)

[ymerej1881]

Wow. I knew I shouldn't have posted my distances. Of course someone would get obnoxious about it. So I hit the ball a long way...that just creates a totally different set of challenges to the game that I need to figure out. No need to go knocking reputation points.

OK, all these distances have been confirmed using either:

I would be concerned about the gap between your 1-iron and 3-iron. Hitting the 1-iron 2200 yards farther than the 3-iron suggests that you are clearly not swinging hard enough with your shorter clubs. -E

To ymerej: He's laughing because you said "Full swing at 80%". Doesn't make any sense.

Mind you I do live in the thin air of colorado. I know that my irons don't follow the pattern mainly because I am trying to learn to hit them about 90% as I tend to get what I want if I do where when I pull driver I swing for the fences. wedges really can't be hit by me at a full pace. I played hockey before golf and I am just trying to slow it down in favor of accuracy.

didn't mean to double post but I am pritty sure Jack Hamm always said BOOOOOOM!!!! when he swung.

I acutally gained 5-10% of distance, when I started taking lessons last summer, but still have to work on bringing the scores lower..

First, and I don't mean to split hairs here, but there are only 5 O's in BOOOOM!!!!

Second, although my hero was known to " occasionally " say BOOOM!!!! (with the proper 5-O usage of the word), when he really wanted to bomb one for TV, he said POWWWWWWWW!!!! (One O, 8 W's) This 5 second video will help prove my point.

[bunkerputt]

After reviewing the posts I'd like to add 10% to my figures, except the driver, to which I add 15%. I'd also like to make a distinction between "off the tee": +12% versus "off the deck": +10%. Also, lower my handicap by 3 points.

[dssxxxx]

I hit my irons various lengths............

In fact, I have been know to hit my PW from a few feet to 150 yards. I'm just not sure when I'm going to do it.
