Hehehe, good one on the 420 yards along the cart path. If it wound up near the green, bet that was a great hole.

I'm usually in the 230 yards range maximum. I also try to make a good lie more than worrying about the distance. If I just think power swing, I usually wind up in a bunch of trees or in the water. So I find it better to get a good accurate drive off the tee and if it's short of where I would have liked it to go, that's OK, as long as it's sitting in a nice spot for the next shot.

As you can gather, I don't get many holes in one with this strategy

I am a complete beginner - on my one and only round of golf so far I hit around 180 yards. I wa sactually quite proud of that - not after reading this thread though

For a little guy I can hit it pretty far. I am 5'6 and from memory, I would say the longest drive I ever hit was on a flat 400 yard par 4. I hit it within 50 yards of the green, which would mean I hit it around 350. Man I was killing the ball that day, and wish I could do it again. I usually average between 270 and 280 though, but when I am really swinging well I can consistently knock it out there between 290 and 300. I just wish I could keep it in the fairway!

On a good day, 300, on a bad day, 230-50. If I've had a few drinks, 310.

I'd say my longest drive would have been about 295-300 yards. I average about 260-270 though.

In a recent competition, playing off the back tees of a 320 yard par 4 (flat hole), I drove the green. Must have finished up 6ft on the front. Didnt help all that much finished 6 out of 120 odd.

On flat ground.. 340ish. I'm not quite back to that, but I should get back there soon.

On a slight downhill (20 ft drop over 400 yards) I hit one 370 today. (gps verified..) It was a beauty. I wish I could do that more often.. lol

Well, I usually average around 245-260 but today I cought a steady downslope and it rolled down to 313. I had to measure because it was really long for me.
