Answer 1

hey dude! I am 14 years old! I went in a tournemetnt yesterday and i shot low 80's and got 5th place. I golf like 5 times a weak and i shot a 79 for 18 holes today! I have a nike sasquatch and i hit it around 250 average. Believe me, its beter to be around 225 or so and straight than 275 and in the woods cause if u hit it strait with a 225 drive u have a shot at the green and not a risky shot or even hittin for 3 if u r in the woods! When i was in the tournement whenever i hit it in the woods, i would always have a bad shot for 2 or 3 and i would always end up with a double bogey or bogey it i was lucky! Your short game is what u should practice. Even tiger and pros need practice on it! I hope this helped and wasnt to long and have a good round next time u golf!

Remember take an easier swing so u r down the middle and have a nice easy lie for the green! Always take ur time and take practice swings! Make good solid contact with the ball! And practice on ur short game the most cause even god needs practice with it! And have a good round next time u play! Email me if u needs any other help! My emails [e-mail] and i always like to have a golf dude to talk to!!!!! Cya l8ter

Pretty good. I'm 16 and hit the ball about 230-240. Don't worry about the distance - it'll come around eventually. What matters is the short game (and trust me, I've been struggling scoring because of my short game).

Answer 3

I don't care if you are 13.  You could be as tall as Shaquille O'Neal and weigh 250 lbs.  You better be hitting farther than 215 yards.

Or you could be the size of a lawn gnome, weigh 60 lbs, and 215 yards would be remarkable.

Answer 4

i can drive close to 300 w/ a driver

Answer 5

It's not so much age, but height and weight that determine the club head speed.  

I'd say 215 for a 13 year old who is around 5'2-5'7 and 100-140lbs is good.  

There are some 13 year olds who are 6'2" and hit the ball nearly 300 yards.  

Don't worry about distance though.  That'll come as you get older.  Work on your short game.  That's how you shoot low scores.
