    Not sure where to start. 59, plenty fit, in gym 4/5 days per week for years and keep up with most 20 somethings. Play to a 3 hdc, and know that more distance is key for me. Not short, +250 ave but tough to score on longer courses constantly hitting 3, 4, 5 and 6 irons to greens. Tried speed training last off season but each time I worked for wk or two, had to spend another week or two to stop tipping the club head over the top. Had a coach that has since relocated.

  • @theCycleReport
    @theCycleReport 2 месяца назад

    I have debated this with a friend of mine who consistently hits 300+y off the tee. It's easy to say that isn't necessary and kind of boring to basically tee off and have a partial wedge in on most holes. Especially when 250-75y (where I tend to hit) still makes most holes fairly short on approach. But if we're talking scoring, the extra bump in distance puts a wedge in his hands vs my 7i and stats don't lie - that wedge in is going to hunt pins more than my 7i. I don't think everybody needs 300y or more, but if somebody's hitting under 250y and having a long iron/fairway or something into a lot of greens that is going to be really hard to score nearly as well as an 8i in hand. Obviously control is important too - it's better to find fairways at 250 than woods at 290 - but all things considered longer tee shots help the overall score to a much bigger degree than most people think.

    • @coltonkalkanisgolf
      @coltonkalkanisgolf 2 месяца назад

      @@coltonkalkanisgolf I kind of hate playing golf from a 300y tee shot - rarely get to play iron shots which is my fav part of the game - but it IS easier to go low when you are usually inside 115y on every par 4. My personal distance is an average of 265. I'll poke one at/just over 300 once a round, and have a couple that don't quite get tagged and end up 239ish, but the vast majority are 250-80 and that's absolutely perfect for me (play from blue tees). The few times I'll blast one i get the reward of a tiny pitch in, but most of the time it's driver - 8i or something and that's so enjoyable.

    260+ is an indicator you have the CHS and golf skills for a solid strike most of the time. And since the driver is the hardest club in the bag to hit, that typically translates to solid strike in the irons for approach. But just because you’re 260+ doesn’t mean you’ll be scratch. What would be interesting to see is where players at 260+ off the tee who are 5 cap or worse lose the most strokes typically.

Just because it’s bigger doesn’t mean you can miss the sweet spot by much and still expect a good shot. And mishits are punished more than with any other club.

      Yes, its possible to be scratch without hitting it far. But if your under 60 its a hell of a lot easier to speed train and get your clubhead speed up and hit it at least 275 than to improve so much at everything else to compensate. Also your wrong about PGA tour guys, short game has less impact on strokes gained and results than anything else. Statistically the biggest differentiator on tour is approach play.

    As someone who is a 27 handicap putting is far more important. Even if i could hit a drive 300 yds im still gonna score a bogey or double bogey. I could see how for the pros it becomes less and less important tho.

      You statistically would be able to play ‘poorly’ and score better. So you are SOMEWHAT correct with this.

    As someone who loses balls off the tee, i agree with this.

    At the tour level, where everyone is a much better than average putter, getting your tee ball 40-50 yards closer than the next guy has obvious advantages, especially when you consider tour average for approach shots from various distances. I think a lot of people that would advocate for putting being the more important skill are probably playing from the whites (mid tees) or even senior tees where a satisfactory drive is leaving them a short iron to the green. If they’re playing some of these long courses from the tips, they’d probably see the value of hitting a 325 yard drive vs 285. I’ll take an 8-iron into the green vs a 4 or 5-iron any day. That alone will probably save me more than a couple of putts or chip shots over a round. And if we’re talking dispersion, even at the amateur level from shorter tees, nothing crushes my scorecard faster than when I’m having a bad day with driver. I’ll take my worst day with putter long before I’ll consider taking my worst day with driver. I think the saying should be “drive for dough, putt to make sure you don’t lose that dough.” But I guess that’s not as catchy 😂

    Putting hands down. Stats do lie. If driving is so great how come those long drive guys aren’t on tour?

      Singular skill vs multiple skills. Not to mention, their accuracy requirements aren’t nearly as stringent as you’d see on a regular golf tour. Having closer approach shots betters your proximity to the hole on average, giving yourself better chances to hole putts and avoid missing greens. Granted, I think the discussion here is based on tour level or good amateur level play. At those levels, it’s not like we’re talking someone who is completely inept at one or the other. However, the driving distance from the #1 guy on the PGA vs the guy who is 170th in distance is 42 yards on average. While that #1 guy is hitting a 9-iron into the green, that 170th guy is probably hitting a 4-iron.

      Case in point. So the #1 isn’t losing their card. While it’s tough to hit a green with a 4 iron.

    I think it's a lot easier to be fine at putting than fine at driving. Even a mediocre putter will get the ball in the hole in 3-4 putts, while a mediocre driver of the ball will be constantly losing balls and getting in thick rough that they're probably not good enough to competently get out of. That's how I see it. Get your putting to an acceptable level, and that's something you can ride for a decent chunk of your golf progression, where you should focus on the rest of your game

    If the point of golf is to play as little golf as possible, and putting puts an end to the shots played. Then putting matters more than driving.
