are averaging 300 yards or more so far in 2010....
it will surprise you

I'm more surprised at how many poke it under 265.
Maybe we shouldn't be trying for those 280 yard drives??? Damn male ego.
240-260-ish can get it done, but it's so unsatisfying! I remember playing a round where I hit every fairway with a 250 yard drive--- I left the course empty!
Ai Miyazato is ranked 5th in the world, and averages 235.8 yards off the tee.
That's because the LPGA Tour needs to beef up its courses.
Those stats can lie, too. It says that Bubba is averaging just over 300 and Dustin Johnson just under. I've never seen Bubba, but I've seen Dustin hit it in person. Dude can hit it in the neck and carry it 300.
Interesting...
How many players on tour do you guys think can carry it 300?
Just off the top of my head my guess is there's gotta be about 20 guys that swinging "max" can carry it 300...? (never mind including roll)
Way more guys who can carry it 280+.
I guess it speaks to strategy.
The big hitters must be less apt to pull driver than the shorter guys. (who need the distance)
