Re: Driving the Ball 280 to 300.....Really???
I have to kinda agree with the OP. I play every week in a men's league and I'd say out of 100+ men, maybe 20% hit it further then me. I carry 245-250 and hit it 270-280. If it just stops then obviously it only goes 245-250. I know these numbers are accurate because there is a creek I carry that is approx. 240 to carry and I regularly carry it. (But not by much)
Of those 20% most just hit it 10-25 yards further then me and there are probably 2-3 guys that hit it over 300. These are all 15 or lower handicap guys, about 40 that are 0 - 4.
What the OP is most likely hearing from most amateurs though is their perfect drive. The guys in my league hit it consistently 240-270 while Joe Duffer who swings as hard as he can hits it 300 1 out of 50 times
