    Never mind.  I just looked in your bag.  It's the 9.5.  But what's with the bag of cheetos in there?!

    ????  I hit 280 today with an 11 mph following wind.  I figure I'm averaging about 250 or so depending on wind. 

    FINALLY I'm hitting what I did in real life.  Makes a difference.

    Hi Pete... I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but you're averaging 228 yards.  It's on your stats page.   But your longest drive is 281, not 280.  And hey, I'll take you up on your Heineken offer.

    how about a 185 yard drive with a net -2 on the hole (eagle)... does that beat a 325 yard drive?

    Yeah but the only problem with that stat is, it has not been reset since the beginning of beta.  So it's entirely possible, and actually very likely that he is now averaging 250+.  But this is an completely different thread that was beaten to death already.  Search "reset stats" if you want to catch up on it.

    Indeed.  I realized that as soon as I hit the submit button on that comment that that was likely the scenario.  Ah cruel life, our past is always haunting our present.

    The best way to get a long drive is get a good driver at the pro shop with a long average distance and having a strong tail wind.
