I drive about 300 consistently. My putting isn't good. My chipping is what I'm best at. I have a good feel for it.
I usually hit pretty straight on my drives, but I do slice sometimes.
For example... on a par 5, I'll be right near the green in 2. Chip up on the green in 3. Then I'll probably 3 putt and get a 6. Or maybe I'll have to chip twice, then 3 putt and get a 7.
It all depends. I can mess up or hit a great shot from anywhere. Being inconsistent is my problem. The ability to consistantly hit good shots is what practice would do.

I have refrained from calling BS this whole thread. But there is no way you drive 300 consistently. I play with two guys who are long off the tee and touch 300 maybe once or twice a round. And they are both single digit handicappers.
You might touch 300 now and then but not consistently. No way.

why isnt this guy playing in the PGA?
He shot under 100 the first time he ever played.
He shoots in the 90s after playing 10 times?
this could be the greatest golfer ever

Didn't we already tell you to stop lying?
It is amazing how many long drivers we have on this board.

That's the answer I was expecting and makes me think you are full of it.
To hit it 300 consistently is quite a feat. Pga pros barely do it. Hitting it 300 with any sort of consistency when only ten rounds into your golfing career is damn near impossible. You just can't square the club face on a reliable basis if your new and swinging that hard.
To hit 300 you have to either swing really hard or have your weight shift and leverage down to a perfect science. There is no way a new player has this down in 10 rounds.
Of course a new player may hit a fairway or two with 300 yards drives but they will also hit more deep in the woods or on top of houses, because there is no way your control is that good.
I have been playing golf for over 20 years and seen tons of new players and I have never seen one crank a 300 yard drive. Most I see can't even contact the ball on a regular basis, but your driving par 5's in two.
Just cut the crap your not that good.
