Golfers love to relate to you how far they hit the ball. However what they are really referring to is how far they can hit their best shots, and even then most golfers like to exaggerate their ability. It makes for great chat in the 19th hole!
When I ask "how far do you hit the golf ball?" I am not referring to how far you could hit the ball. I am not talking about long drives. The real question is how far you hit the golf ball with each club in your golf bag.
If you want to score to the best of your ability, you need to know exactly which club to take to get the ball into the right place. That is, you need to select the club that with most probability will propel the ball the required distance, in the direction you want it to go in.

You need to know how far you hit the ball on average with each club in your bag.
When you are calculating how far you hit with each club, make sure you take the average distance. You need to know how far the ball will go with a club most of the time.
Another important aspect to consider is 'carry' distance.
On well watered fairways the ball will stop quickly. Good greens will hold a ball very well. So the most important thing is how far the ball flies i.e. carries in the air before it hits the ground.
The benefit of this is you will know, give or take a few yards, exactly where you expect the ball to land. This is critical if you are to fly the ball over hazards such as bunkers. It is not important that the ball goes a total distance of 100 yards. It is far more important to know that the ball will clear the hazard at 95 yards!
So you need to know how far the golf ball carries with each golf club in your bag.
Once you have this information you can plan your way round the golf course much better.
To produce your best score you need to calculate the distance to target for each shot. When you know how far you have to go then you are able to choose the correct club easily.
If you start to plan your way round the course based on the required carry distance on each shot you may find that you get nearer to the pin more often, and your scores start to tumble.
