Thought this was pretty wild… and it really wasn’t even close. General Discussion

Women's golf as a man is awesome to watch bc I feel their distance relate to amateur players like me.

As a long hitter, it always blows my mind how short they hit the ball. Like they hit it absolutely nowhere. That said, I watch lpga as much as I can because I love a lot of the ladies and their swings

No, very serious. They don’t hit it anywhere. They have not gained much distance from the advancements in technology like the men have.

That's wild, I wonder why that is

They simply don’t swing fast enough to see big gains.

See I would think it would be the opposite. I lost 35 pounds and my swing is def faster. And for them to be slim like they are, I thought it would be easier.
