If you can carry it 260 and play 6300 yd courses, you should be eating it up.
You would have wedges and short irons into most par 4s
And no you aren’t going to eat it up. Yo give a 10 handicap 100 yards into every single hole to reach GIR and they are going to shoot in the 80s still on average
For example, if a 10 handicap played every par 3 from 100 yards on the tee box, hit their 2nd shot on every par 4 and third shot on every par 5 from 100 yards they would average 81
Tell me why a high or mid handicap should set themselves up to be taking longer clubs into greens than the best in the world so. Makes zero sense. Watching high handicappers hit 6 irons into most of their par 4s as pros hit 8 or 9 iron makes no sense

This is true.
There is a better chance for the player to break 80 once tee up, but it does not make 18 shots easier. Most 10 foot putts are missed- by tour pros. Dispersion for a tour pro on a given shot is 3% when playing well.
