when i first started golfing, i played with a friend that was just starting too. i remember how he would tell me that he could hit it over 300 but when we played he would slice the ball terribly with every club. then one day, he connected with one and just destroyed it. the hole was in the 350 range and flew it onto the back of the green. eclark53520 can vouch for the hole since it was #14 at the DLCC.
i never doubted his ability to drive it that far after that day but i doubt that he could break 100.
as for my friend i play with nowadays, he has no problem hitting 300 with his 3 wood. last time on the monitor this winter, his first swing was 133 and peaked at 141. his ball would start climbing where my ball landed. worst part is he is a very good player with a +4 cap. he has the tools and can use them.
