Every year it seems that these guys are getting stronger and stronger.

Driving the 340 yd 18th is impressive.

The game is in good shape going forward.

KFT events are absolute birdie fests, you have to be very comfortable going very low to compete out there

Some real promising guys making the leap to PGA Tour next year, expect big things from guys like McCarty, Capan, Cummins and more

It is amazing to watch.

The game is at least bifurcated already, and I wish they would just let the great be great.

In my own game, there is no need for a rollback of the golf ball or clubs. I guess they should put limits on my ball retriever grip.

I don’t think 213 would cut it on some high school teams much less a professional tour.

Played in a KF pro-am a few years ago. I can hit my clubs with a good bit of distance but I was pretty floored when we were just shy of 200 out and the dude casually grabbed his 8-iron

Your understanding of averages is on par with your understanding of the mRNA concept... poor.

Not a single average below 273.

KF driving averages

Why they using 5 irons to tee off with?

They plaed a KF tour stop at my club up until last year. It was always extremely humbling to watch how much further they could hit a drive on a course I had played hundreds of times. It just completely changed the look of the course from the places they were putting drives. Although it was slightly comforting to know that the green that gives all the members fits gave those guys fits too. I personally witnessed multiple triples on this particular hole and any time I can par out on it I can give myself a misguided pat on the back for beating some of those guys haha.

213 is like a 7-8 iron for these guys

That’s ridiculous.

When I was at my best, and could hit it 320 i couldn’t hit a 7 iron over 200, maybe with today’s clubs, but not likely without trying to kill it.

6 iron is what I'd bet at 210. I hit my 6 iron 200 a couple of times today. Not accurate but it went 200 yards.

There's so many guys with ridiculous amounts of speed. I watch Ben Hadden golf on YT and he's trying to get there (KFT). Can touch 200mph ball speed and cruises at 187-190, Trackman verified.
