. If you’re hitting a PW 150 yards, you should be on the PGA tour.

It can be done, but the average joe is swinging very hard to get it there and not likely very accurate.

There is a difference between hitting it thin and it rolling out 150 yards not stopping on the green and Tiger hitting his 100' high and stopping it on a dime

The tour average carry for PW is 136 according to trackman. So, you're 10 yards farther than the average PGA tour player and can only muster a 24 handicap? How flat are you hitting that PW?

No, of course not. I've won a few long drives in scramble tournaments, but half the time I'm OB.

Clearly it can be done. Tiger was warming up. His first full swing on the range, not even swinging hard. 150 and everything within a very tight grouping. I don't care who you are, that is impressive carry for a PW.

If I'm playing smart, I'm in between clubs at 150. If I'm trying to muscle it, I absolutely hit PW from 150, and a little bit beyond that.

As someone has pointed out before, my clubs are probably bent a bit. So my PW is probably a 9 iron.

I tend to hit the ball pretty high, actually, but probably 40% of my shots are fat and go 80 yards.

I'm not bragging - I'm bad at golf - but every so often I catch one clean.

maybe if you didnt hit 20 yards short of the green all the time, you wouldn't be a 24 handicap

Too early to be swinging from. Tigers nuts baw. 150 pw with the wind behind you is nothing. 20 guys out There are much longer. Keep Swinging from those herpes infested tiger nuts.

Yeah I don't play smart at all. Still enjoy it though.

Anyway, Tiger goes off in 10 minutes.

The fact that Danny Willet has won a Masters is going to end up a miracle.

I can see that some events Tiger plays in will be really rough on you

Stugotz on LeBatard - is Vijay Singh winning this Masters the worst possible outcome?
