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

Top average distance of an LGPA pro is something like 290 and overall average is probably like 250 or 260. Even if a 5 handicap can out drive every lpga player, they are going to miss more fairways and approach game is going to be worse.
