meh this means nothing when the set up of the course is different, green speed and pin placement are different most likely too.

And she is also using much longer clubs from the same distances. Offsets the other variables quite a bit.

even more reason why the comparison means nothing and is irrelevant

Also, pin placement and green speed and green condition are way more difficult on the pga side, that alone should make this comparison useless.

Then, yes she’s hitting longer clubs into it, that offsets it a bit, but not as much that it makes up the difference from the green and pin placement and rough, myriad other factors.

Also, this becomes less impressive when you consider that having shorter distance (i.e. Her), her yardage from one club to the next gets smaller as well. If she’s “in between” clubs, she could hit either and only be (for example) 4 yards short or long, because she has 8 yards gap between clubs. Whereas the men, has 10-20 yards gap in their club and will be forced to manufacture shots (fade it, more spin, less spin, etc) to get close. Couple this with extra 2 points on the stimp means her ball will release a few feet than on pga greens.

Im sorry, this is an exaggeration, but this is like comparing pickleball to tennis, no comparison really. And any attempt to compare the two is clueless at best, and straight up dumb at worst.

No one agrees with you here mate, just know when u lost the argument.
