July 29, 20179 yr @Bench 240 5 iron but a 155 9 iron? That's ~28 yard gaps between irons? I hit 9 iron 165 but my 5 iron is a 205 club. Those are some funky numbers you're throwing out there.
July 29, 20179 yr Played with my youngest yesterday. Hit his 3wood 310. It's just not that uncommon frankly. Outdrove me by 25yds and I nutted my driver. Justin Thomas hit a 3 wood 300 yards during the US Open off the fairway. Dude is 150 pounds soaking wet. Some dudes are just freaks of nature.
July 30, 20179 yr 4 of you...shot a 106? wow. 2 of the 4 had never golf before. I hadnt golfed in 5 years or more.
July 30, 20179 yr 2 of the 4 had never golf before. I hadnt golfed in 5 years or more. Ok. You get a pass.
July 30, 20179 yr Sports team fundraiser, I went for the beer. And you got an extensive tour of the course.

July 30, 20179 yr Some of you talking 165 yard 9 iron shots, that's long. I saw an interview with Dustin Johnson after his round today in the Canadian Open and he answered a question about one of his shots into a green and he said he hit his 9 iron 145 on the shot. And he's one of the longest guys on tour.

July 30, 20179 yr DJ had a 2 club wind in his face then he hits a 9 at least 165 with a still wind. I'm not disagreeing with the 9 iron yardage distances posted on here, only quoting what DJ said. I figured he was a bit longer than 145 with a 9 iron. However, that's still several clubs different from what I would have to hit from that distance .
