No doubt.....I'd gladly trade my driving distance for a consistent short game. I'm usually that guy that will play a par 5, be on in 3 or 4, about 10' from the cup, then 4 put for a double or triple. Or I'll land my 2nd shot right off the edge of the green, but when I go to chip on, I'll blade it and hit it 60yds behind the green.

My all time best was like 330 off the tee. But, it was an elevated tee box and we had a pretty strong and steady tail wind. I'll probably never do that again.

I usually take a mulligan and then drop somewhere in the middle of the fairway where the ball should have gone.

Pretty sure the tour driving averages only count if they hit a fairway. That wasn't part of our discussion, right? Along that line, we should only count carry distance and forget about roll. I also didn't take into consideration any club but my driver. That definitely skews things.

Depends on where the sandtrap is located, because that's where it's headed.

I also didn't take into consideration any club but my driver. That definitely skews things. The PGA measures average driving distance using this formula: "The average number of yards per measured drive. These drives are measured on two holes per round. Care is taken to select two holes which face in opposite directions to counteract the effect of wind. Drives are measured to the point at which they come to rest regardless of whether they are in the fairway or not." It's my understanding that they attempt to select fairly obvious driver holes as well.

Everyone exaggerates how far they hit the golf ball by about 20% After reading this thread, that might be a low estimate. If I hit a 260 yard drive in the fairway I’m tickled pink. X2. Who knew half of aldeer could hit it with the tour players. Impressive Hit with tour players? Hell, they are out driving them.
