Driving yardage


Question
Hi, i am new to the game and trying to work out if i am above or below average with my hitting distances. I regularly hit 90 yards from a 9 iron and 200 yards with a 5 driver. I use these clubs as examples as these are the two i am most consistent with.

Answer
Hi Stephen,

The yardages listed in the chart below show a range for average amateurs, both male and female. As you'll see, the ranges are quite large, and represent short hitters, mid hitters and long hitters. (There are, of course, people who hit it longer, just as there are people who hit it shorter.)

Club       Men       Women
Driver 200-230-260    150-175-200
3-wood 180-215-235    125-150-180
5-wood 170-195-210    105-135-170
2-iron 170-195-210    105-135-170
3-iron 160-180-200    100-125-160
4-iron 150-170-185    90-120-150
5-iron 140-160-170    80-110-140
6-iron 130-150-160    70-100-130
7-iron 120-140-150    65-90-120
8-iron 110-130-140    60-80-110
9-iron 95-115-130     55-70-95
PW     80-105-120     50-60-80
SW     60-80-100      40-50-60

I'm not sure what you mean by a 5 Driver. I think you mean 5 wood.
