260-265 yards.

I got my Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 working again with some gentle cleaning. So played 9 holes today on a pretty windless day. 0.7" of rain earlier today but course drains well so the fairways were very reasonable.

Shot reference points on each driver hole (7) so I could get accurate readings. R7 425 9.5* TP with Aldila vs by you regular shaft at 45.5". Drove well today with nice trajectory and roll. Straight or very slight fade. 6 drives were between 260-265 yards and one at 253 yards (heel hit). Consistant but not overly long.

Overall I'm happy with distance as I'm 55 years old with the flexibilty of an oak 2x4.

Ezra and Jeff and other big hitters. Build that strip mall between my drive and yours. Works for me . I will continue to watch in awe.

Overall I shot a 33 (3 under today). 7 pars, 1 bird, AND 1 eagle chip in. 24 paces from cup --6 from green edge. Curled it in.

Used a broomstick putter today just because I hadn't used it in a while. Direction has always been good with this flatstick but distance control an issue. Today the stars aligned and all was good. For putts 5 feet or less I use it sidesaddle facing the hole. I just do not miss in this mode.

Anyway 300 yards is possible for me ---ON AN ASPHALT RUNWAY. Guess Cory Pavin should be my hero.

BTW--Golf Digest headline OCHOA 290 yards 127 lbs 5'6". Kim--The Big Break 5"7" and certainly less than 140 lbs 300+ yards. I am humbled
