That's kind of what I thought, I'm a short hitter but usually keep it around 82 by relying on short game and putting. Of course I'm 52 and out of shape. Played ball in college at 205 now up to 265 but never was a long hitter.

my trackman yardages are avg 263-268 carry total dist 275-280. I have played rounds with web.com players and they can swing it. On avg they were about 20 yds ahead of me with woods but we hit our irons the same distance. I am a digger/diver and compress and strike the ball very well.

Friendly rules?
Me and partner play strict USGA rules. Last month my ball was behind a fallen tree trunk from a recent tornado that hit west Shreveport. Weighed about 300 pounds. I could have done unplayable lie and taken penalty. I moved the trunk off to the side and played the ball where it lied.
Two lessons:
a. Playing by the rules creates innovation.
b. Weight lifting helps your golf game.

quote:No. Straight up. There is usually some kind of small wager involved when I play, so we play USGA and/or course rules. We play the ball down, take stroke and distance when applicable, put everything out, etc.

Question from yesterday, my friend hits a 250 yard drive 100 yards OB off the tee. Does he re-tee and hit 3 or does he drop approximately where it went OB?

rules say to re-tee, a lot of people just take a drop to keep the round moving

and I think I hit the ball 290, actually hit it 340

OB as in white stakes/line or were there red stakes/line? White means re-tee, red = lateral hazard, i.e. drop where it entered

A person I played with one time tried to convince me you can ground your club in a fairway bunker but not a green side bunker...
That's pretty dumb, and this guy was a really good player - 3-5 handicap. Wonder how long he's been doing this

I mean he routinely hits a few drives over the trees that run down the side of most fairways.

If it is really OB, then you are supposed to re-tee, but if there are red lines/stakes, its a lateral hazard. If no lines, ask someone at the clubhouse, but generally woods/natural areas on the edges of the course or people's property is marked OB.

A better question for many of these "long" hitters is what's your average score
Good point ... I'm short of the tee (avg about 250 or so) but beat guys I play with who are 70 and 80 yards ahead of me off the tee. It's all about getting the ball into hole

quote:OB (white steaks or referenced on the score card), re-tee and hits 3. Lateral hazard (red stakes), drop within two club lengths no closer to the hole from where it entered the hazard or keeping the line with where it entered the hazard and the hole, drop as far back as he wants or re-tee and hit 3.

been hammering at my friends who are beginners to go chip and putt. i remember being hard headed though.
i never practiced putting in my life until the past few years and it makes all the difference.

Some ppl have no clue how far a 300 yard drive is

its about 30-40 yds ahead of my drive
And usually I am anywhere from one to three fairways over as well.

More important is the score....guys talking about their 77, 81 over the weekend...They get in a tournament and shoot 92.
These are the same guys that claim the 300 yard drives day in and out. I'll take my 250-260 drives and my 83 and put it up against most of these guys that claim to be the 2013 version of the "hammer".
