George Carlin 1 Posted April 14, 2006 You know that those markers for distance at the driving range are completely wrong, right? Aren't you the person in the "What balls do you use" thread who loses balls all the time? Either you are hitting the ball really far in the wrong direction, or your measurements are off. The driving range I go to ends at 300 yards too, (so it says) I think it's pretty accurate though, because I've never seen anyone get there without a long roll. I got a ball there once, it hit off the roof of the ball picker upper truck and went an extra 40 yards. alsonotreally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 14, 2006 Golf Digest did d piece a while back about how 'lifeless' driving range balls really are. If you're carrying a driving range ball 300 yards and hitting it over a fence - you should be on some kind of tour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're carrying a driving range ball 300 yards and hitting it over a fence - you should be on some kind of tour. I never thought of that. Which is probably why I hit my 7 iron 150 and my driver 220 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 14, 2006 Jep, and not that I needed the GD article to confirm this - but you should NEVAR cage how far you hit your clubs based on performance at a driving range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

potts17 4 Posted April 14, 2006 I hit a drive 2500 yards once, it was the greatest swing of my life! No really I average about 270 off the tee, I have a ridiculous club head speed. Took me a few years to finally get the swing down so I'm pretty consistent now. Before I'd hit it 300 yards the wrong way every time. I use a Taylor Made Firesole driver, I've had that thing for about 5 years now, I've bought and sold almost every new Taylor Made driver out there, nothing in my opinion beats the Firesole for me, others hate, it must just fit my swing. I've had that thing regripped probably 4-5 times. AHHH springtime, nothing better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bno70_1 0 Posted April 14, 2006 275?? you are like 6'2, I suck at golf and can bomb 300 if I get into it This guy hits it 300 yards about as often as I turn down a donut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
