Well, lemme put it this way. If I had two choices:

a. You can average 300 yards off the tee and shoot 100.

b. You can average 200 yards off the tee and shoot 80.

I'm gonna take A. I love hitting the shite out of the ball. I don't care what my score is.

Very well put. Whenever I get a hold of one, (This isn't very often as I usually top the shite out of it, leave a divot in front of the tee, and it rolls 100 yards) it goes about 325. That's no shite as I have a range finder

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


And the older you get the more you come to understand this. Drive for show, putt for dough is one of the most true statements ever made.
