#3 Distance is over rated. If you're straight, you can play anywhere.
#5 Distance is over rated. If you're straight, you can play anywhere.

That's about all you really need to know.

That's just what people that can't hit it far say, lol. It is a HUGE help to drive it 300+ yds in the fairway....when my buddies are hitting 7 irons in, I'm hitting wedges.

It is very true about your short game....spend the most time on that. If you can't chip it close, and make putts...you will never get good.

It's only a huge advantage if you can hit the lumber consistently STRAIGHT at 300+ yards....and if you can do that, my hat's off to ya brother!

I'm 250 and straight...getting to the point where I can work a little draw into the ball flight when I need it...that's about all I've got. Every once in a while I'll get a hold of one just right and put it out there a little farther. That's usually when there is someone in the fairway ahead of me and someone says "Ah, go ahead and swing, you can't hit'em." LOL

Well it's official I played my first 9 holes ever(got rained out) and I'm eat up with it. Went to the driving range on Sunday and did pretty good with the 7 iron (all I brought with me). Had a few bad balls but had several that felt and sounded great! I need lessons but right now it's just so much fun!!!
Another hobby......just what I needed!

This may be where you can get some great golf lessons.
