63 years young.
Try to play a distance that leaves my approach at about 150 (7 or 8 iron). I'm just not ready to play driver wedge all day. Boring. More comfortable at 6100-6300. Right now distance isn't the problem, inconsistent play is the issue (and a bad back).

Let’s do it this way

Trackman average says pga tour players carry driver 297

So let’s say you are an amateur country club golfer that hits it far for an an everyday guy, let’s say you carry it 260. That’s 87% of the pga distance

Pga average course length is 7,300 yards

87% of 7,300 is 6,350 yards

So a longer hitting amateur should be playing the whites if he wants to be similar to the pros. Why people think you should wait til your old makes absolutely no sense but to each their own
