How far should i be hitting my clubs?

Question

iv been playing for about 3 months on my high school golf team. can any one tell me the average distance i should be hitting each club

Answer 1

For me, I am a 2 handicapper that's played for 4 years.

My distance are

Driver - 300~330 yards

3 Wood - 275 yards

3 iron - 235 yards

4 iron - 220 yards

5 iron - 205 yards

6 iron - 195 yards

7 iron - 180 yards

8 iron - 170 yards

9 iron - 160 yards

P wedge - 140 yards

G wedge - 125 yards

S Wedge - 115 yards

L Wedge - 100 yards

Now, I am hitting these distances above sea level.

if you are in sea level, you should take about 10% to 15% off

Hope it helped

There is no magic number. There are a ton of factors that have nothing to do with your swing. Clubs, balls, where you are, time of year and so on, can all affect distance. I carry my 7 iron 150 in March and 185 in august. The best thing to do is find your average carry. Don't do it at a driving range, as those balls are usually dead. Hit each club ten times on a wet day with no roll, and figure out the average, and go from there.

Answer 3

An average player hits a 7 iron 150.

Answer 4

You should be hitting each club as far as they will go with a comfortable, smooth swing.  Do not get worried about how far they go compared to anyone else.  You should practice each club in different conditions to get a feel for how far YOU hit them.  

A smooth 5-iron on the green is better than a muscled 7-iron in the rough or hazard.

Answer 6

Well I usually hit the ball with my club and if it ds not go far enough pick it up and chuck it.........

Answer 7

Young man .... it is up to you to determine which club feels best in your hands for each shot that you you must take . When  I first started playing, I went to the driving range and used each club in my bag and hit about 20 balls with each... This should give you a good feel for your clubs. Remember that the higher # of the club, the shorter the shot should be. ex. #9 I use from about 140 yds and in. Everyone is different... Strength and conditioning play a very big part.

Answer 8

Dude, you hit the balls.
