I will look for the distance first , if it is 150 yards from the hole I will use 7 or 8 iron . If the wind is blowing towards me I will use 7 iron , If the wind is blowing towards the green I will use 8 iron . Also, if you are facing a short Par 4 (about 280 yards) you can use driver to hit the ball straight to the hole, but becareful, if your driving technique is not good( always slice) then, I will suggest you to use 3 wood then use a sand wedge to chip the ball to the green and putt for birdie . By the way , if you want to test wheather the wind is blowing towards the hole or towards you , you just need to pick up some grass from the fairway or rough , and see how the grass moves in direction, if the grass goes towards you, it means that the wind is blowing towards you, if the grass goes towards the hole, it means that the wind is blowing to the hole, so try this method and give me 10 marks for the best answer .

In order to get the most distance out of a particular golf ball it is important that individuals select a ball which matches their swing speed. \n\nAs a ball is struck, the majority of the power is created by the compression of the ball (i.e. the ball is indented) and the resulting action of the ball springing back into its original shape. Therefore, if a golfer selects a ball which is very difficult to compress (higher compression balls - 100, 110) he/she will not get as much spring action, and therefore distance, out of the ball as they do not hit it with enough force to compress it adequately. \n\nFor this reason balls designed for ladies tend to be easier to compress as their swing speed tends to be lower than that of the average male. Lower compression balls (i.e. 60, 70, 80) will compress more easily allowing for maximum spring back into shape and thus maximizing the speed at which the ball leaves the club. \n\nAlthough a high compression ball is more difficult to compress, if a golfer has significant swing speed such that they are able to compress the ball adequately the spring (i.e. the bouncing back into it original shape) of a high compression ball is more forceful that that of a lower compression ball. Therefore, similar compression on lower and higher compression balls will result in different distance, with the higher compression ball traveling farther.\n\nFollow the link below for everything you ever wanted to know about a golf ball!

Golf originated in Scotland and has been played for several centuries in the British Isles. The oldest course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Golf has been played on Musselburgh Links since 1672. Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is increasingly popular and continues to attract ever more players around the world.

Norman Manley, of California, holds the record for most hole in ones with 59. Manley shot his first hole in one in 1964 and aced four holes in 1979. That's not too bad considering the odds of hitting a hole in one are roughly one in 40,000.

Bubba Watson, He can hit 420 yards long drive (THAT'S FOR SURE).

Yea, by pure luck! I'm not a golfer and couldn't tell you what club. I do use the Happy Gilmore swing. People laugh at me but that's how I got my hole in one! Good luck!

It depends on what you call "present" day golf, but here is the short answer.\n\nArt Wall has the most recorded holes in one of any PGA Tour Professional, 46, however not all were recorded in competition.  Art played the tour through the 70's.  \n\nDave Stockton is believed to have the second most, having made 26, again not all in competition.  Dave played on the tour through the 80's.

Their really isn't one correct answer to this question, I'll try to explain. I’ll start with the home run that Mickey Mantle hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953. The entire baseball world was led to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed.\nIn truth, that figure derived from the distance from home plate to the place where a neighborhood child retrieved the ball. However, the actual distance in the air was probably about 510 feet (most sources still have this as #1). The same process happened again with Mantle on September 10, 1960 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit when a ball he hit was reported to have traveled 643 feet but it is readily apparent once again that the ball had bounced several times before it reached the estimated distance (this is the home run that the "Guinness Book of Records" has as #1). When your talking about tape measure home runs you can’t leave out Babe Ruth. It was said that Ruth once hit one 587 feet in an exhibition game against the Giants back in 1919. Also his tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling 628 feet, but again was it measured where it first landed or where it came to a rest. Included among the other great exaggerations in the history of tape measure home runs are Dave Nicholson’s Comiskey Park rooftopper on May 6, 1964 who’s shot was calculated at 573 feet. The calculations were on the assumption that the ball traveled completely over the left-center-field roof. However, subsequent\ninvestigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing out into the night. Also, when Dave Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago’s Wrigley Field on April 14, 1976, "The New York Times" somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet another claim (by the "Guinness Book of Records"), has a minor league player by the name of Roy Edward "Dizzy" Carlyle having hit one 618 feet at Emeryville Ball Park, CA on July 4, 1929. Mark McGwire hit several home runs over 500 feet and one over 540 and his is measured accurately every time he hits one. I know I didn’t cover everything but I hope I covered enough to satisfy you.\n\nAlso, Mantle's home run off the facade at Yankee Stadium on May 22, 1963 traveled between 370 to 374 feet and was between 115 to 117 feet high. If it was still going up like some people claim it would have traveled an estimated distance of 620 feet if left unimpeded. However, the reality is that the ball was already on its way down, and those reporting the trajectory were victimized by a common optical illusion. It is a scientific fact that if Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet. In order for the ball to be rising at roof level, it would have to have been traveling at a lower angle than that which produces maximum distance. If Mantle had provided the same power or velocity, but had launched the ball at a higher and more efficient angle, it would have passed out of Yankee Stadium at a height of over 200 feet! Mantle hit the facade on two or perhaps three occasions, but never cleared it.\nSource(s):\nYou can also go to:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/ar...

It's now called a strong 3 wood, and depends on who hit it. I've seen Tiger hit his 15 degree 3 wood, 270 yards from a fairway!! Sure can replace driver, easier to hit.

Most average players hit a six or seven iron 150 yards. Add 15 yards for each extra club, (if that makes sense).  6 iron for 150 yards, 7 iron 135 yds, 8 iron 120 yards etc.\nIf you can hit a driver 220 yards, a three wood should be about 190, a five wood 180, seven wood 165.   Most golfers will say they hit everything further than I suggest.  Try to determine what club you need for 150 yards and work from there.   What Tiger woods does with his clubs is unbelievable.  He can hit a six iron about 220 yards and a Driver 360.

I hit my PW about 110yds. off a tee . You should be able to hit yours at least 90yds. off a tee considering your young and flexible. If not take a lesson. I'm old and not flexible by the way. Pros hit a PW 160 or more in some conditions. Tiger Woods has hit PW 190 already in bad conditions.OK maybe not PW ,but I remember a shot he hit at Pebble Beach with a 9 iron he hit 190 up hill with a cross wind.\nThe biggest pro hitters at least 160 not up hill or into the wind.

It depends on the circumstances and the punter.  For a professional, it would be about 60-70 feet.

Tiger Woods. Hardest Worker. Strongest in his sport (by far). Bench press is 300+. core muscles are unbelieveable. complete utter domination of a insanely difficult sport. Can do EXACTLY everything he wants to with a golf ball. drop wtih in 20 feet of target every time...
