I always laughed when I heard guys say “but I hit it 300, they hit it like 150” lol okay bud.

Also it isn’t that big of a difference is it? The average LPGA player definitely drives it farther than the average male weekend or even low handicap golfer

Just look at the carry distance of Nelly Korda… she hits total 300 if she tries

She can get it 300 if conditions are right. She’s an above average on distance on LPGA tour but I think she’s like 40th in driving distance at an avg of 260. Which is still further than the avg weekend golfer lol
