Question

How far can pro golfers usually drive..? Like does anyone know of a record?

Answer 1

most are in the 280's on  average give or take 20 yards. the longest driver on tour now averages around 320 i think.

Answer 2

The average tour pro hits about 265 metres or around 285 yards (I think). The longest driver on tour is Bubba Watson and I think he averages around 300 metres or 330 yards.

The longest drive ever was 8.34 Km or 5.2 miles but that was on a concrete path.

The longest ever in a long drive comp was 515 yards which I think is around 455 metres it was downwind, and the guy was 63 years old! .

Hope that helped him

Answer 3

Pro Players can drive the ball miles.

This question usually gets kind of a false reading as the distance of a drive is only measured and entered into a players stats as long as the drive has stayed on the fairway, the moment the ball leaves the fairway (Even if its only by 1/2 inchs!!) the drive is not counted. You therefore get an awful lot of players who don't have the greatest accuracy but smack the ball miles. Tiger Woods is the number 1 player who plays the game like this.

Most Players can hit their average drive around 300 Yards, they tend to only hit the ball 260 - 285 as they don't really need to hit the ball any further because they can hit their 3 woods about 225 - 250 meaning all holes except for VERY VERY long par 4's are reachable quite easily in 2.

Players like: -

John Daly

Tiger Woods

JB Holmes

Lee Westwood

All have the power to hit their drives 350 / 400 yards (Depending on weather and where the ball lands) but don't tend to do this on a regular basis. I have seen numerous golf pro's drive par 4's though.

Answer 4

around 300 yards+/-

Answer 5

ususally between 280-320
