Rediculously long hacks?

[wirehair]

Just thinking here....

I'm a fat old hacker who struggles to break 90. I'm willing to play any of you 300 yard guys heads up if you give me a drop 230 yards from the box and call it my drive.

How does $10 a hole sound?

Okie Doke - Bring your A game...you're gonna need it. Let's meet in Memphis. Beer, blues, ribs, golf and you'll be paying.

Anyone else want a piece of me! These are gauntlets.

The cup is only 3". We all know that!

I thought it was 4.25"?

And scoring ability has nothing to do with pounding the ball a mile. I have seen folks who can rip the cover off a ball yet couldn't break 100 on their best day. Others who hit it short but had killer short game ability were shooting par or better.

But I have also played with the opposites as well, folks who can pound it & yet still score well. Jake & Dane are a couple of them. And have played with short hitters who sucked miserably all around.

Hell, I'll take a drop 20 yards behind you and play you for whatever you are willing to lose.

Nope, just hit your normal 300 yd tee shot.

But, I don't drive the ball 300 yards except for about 4 or 5 times a year tops. I can't "nut" every drive like some folks claim they can. I can only dink it out there in the 245 - 260 range on average.

I can chip and putt my ass off though. In fact, let's do this. We'll play and I'll hit 4 iron on every tee you hit driver.

Most everyone needs more loft and flex in a driver since the avg. drive barely exceeds 200yards, so mfg. add loft and flex on a driver to optimize shorter hitters distance without threatening their egos.

Any actual evidence of this?? I've only played for about 6 years, but out of the 40 or 50 people that i have played with in my time, maybe 5 of them are even remotely close to fitting in this category. I play with about 10 people on a regular basis and most hit 5 iron 200 yards, and all of them have an iron or a hybrid that they hit more than 200 yards.

Im interested to see an actual source that isn't compiling data on senior citizens that confirms this.

I don't know a single person that can hit a 5 iron 200 yds & I play with some folks who can approach the 300 yd deal with their driver.

I'm messing with wire hair up there because I know that I can hit my 4 iron 200-210 down the fairway. I plan to carry it about 190/195 when hitting into a green. I hit a 5 iron about 180/185 carry into a greeen and 190-200 down the fairway.

I do play with people that can carry the ball a lot farther than I can. I generally beat most of them.

I never knew anything about golf until i started playing with these people, so maybe it just not out of the ordinary because everyone i play with on a regular hits it long by your definition.

So your saying that neither you or anyone you play with have a nonwood that you can hit 200 yards?

You said a 5 iron & nope, for myself thats a 170 yd club, max of 175 on a good day. If I have a 200 yd shot I pull out either my 5w or 3h.

Of these people who hit 300 yard drives occasionally, what do they hit 200 yards?

The pond or the woods.

My deal is, You go ahead and drive; 245-260 is pretty good. I'll drop 230. You realize I get 14 perfect lies at 120-170 out.
