The question is why hit a driver if the 3 wood is getting you 290?


easy answer, because its fun. The average hacker probably gets the most joy out of hitting a driver. It's all about that one BIG drive that keeps you coming back.
Almost every time you play there will be numerous short par 4's that you could hit a 5 iron off of and be in good shape. However most people will always hit driver because its fun, not because it was the smart move.

Sunday I missed 1 fairway and it was by less than a club length. I can get off the tee any time. However, I hit 9 balls fat that came up 30-50 yards short, bladed 3 wedges, and had 4 three putts.

If we were 1, we would dominate.

I'm long with my 3 wood, get it our there with a decent amount of people's drivers. Most of it is just cause the manufacturer of my 3 wood is pretty hot.

I average nowhere near 290. To say that you do is ridiculous. Maybe one day day, downwind, on a fast and hard course you got it out there

The distances people think they hit the ball, and what they really do, is one of the funniest things in the game

this thread made me go buy a 3w r11s.
Got it on clearance for 150.

We'll see if I can get to replace my driver.

I don't understand the logic here. I didn't say I shoot 65 every round. I didn't say I put it in the middle of the fairway every shot. I didn't say I hit a driver 340. I said I hit my three wood a long way. That's all. Grow up peter pan.

When I read these threads, I wonder where all of the concrete golf courses are around here. Because that's the only way anyone is averaging 290 with a 3 wood. Tiger Woods was consistently carrying his driver 290 last week, and people on this board were gawking over that (rightfully so).
