Took my stepson to driving range this afternoon. He can hit it close to 200yrds with ONE hand. He hit the first one pretty good, I was really surprise cause that is hard to do, and told him to do it again and let me video it. He hit ~4 in a row, 175-200yards.
If you straightened out the banana ball slice, about as far as anyone. As a crow flies, about average. I had the dog legs to the right down pat. If they dog legged to the left I was in trouble.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
Now, laughable. Haven't played meaningful golf in a dozen years.
Back in the day I had (still have them) some Ping Eye 2 clubs with the real persimmon wood driver and 3 wood, tour sized not this oversized monsters of today. I could hit the 3 wood 260-285 consistently. I could knock on 300 200 with the driver if I ever hit it straight....could not hit that club worth nothing...
Edit...typo on driver distance. 200 was my best with my driver. More loft and backspin with 3 wood helped with distance greatly.

Everyone exaggerates how far they hit the golf ball by about 20%
No they don’t. Sure, there are some exaggerations, but to say everyone does it by 20% is laughable. That would mean a guy claiming he hits it 280 would really go 220. That’s an absurd difference.
I haven't played golf in well over 20 years. When I was playing consistently I must have averaged 400 yards with my driver. I'm a leftie. It would go around 200 yards straight down the middle, then take a sharp slice to the left, cross 2-3 more fairways, going another 200 yards.

I wish I had a little of his game. I played yesterday for 1st time since 07. Shot a 131. I’m cool with it since haven’t even held a golf club in 12 years and was hoping to keep it under 150.
