The top 5 longest drivers on the LPGA are 270+, which is long enough. And i'll bet their short game is better too. They have coaches year round and don't have to worry about school. I'd put my money on the ladies.

So these boys would be 30 yards further than the top drivers. Meaning if they played from the ladies tees they would have a pitching wedge going into par 4s while the ladies has between a 6-8 iron. That is a huge, huge, huge advantage

And only one of them is in the top 70 in rankings. (#10)

Probably. It would be more consistent and refined most likely, but the top 10 guys in the country have very good short games.

I think from ladies tees the men would compete for wins, but wouldn't dominate.
