Lebev,

I do understand how the differences in altitude, humidity, temperature, etc...can change how a golf ball travels. One of the points I brought up was how the pros hit it so much farther in the same conditions. I was driving 250 from the championship tees, but the pros would land the ball well past my ball playing from the tips. I'm no pro, and yes, 280 yards is respectible, but I would like to take my game up to the next level...and I believe that adding distance would be a great start. I have played in local tournaments against some of the areas top amateurs, and quite a few of them bang the ball much further than I. Playing against someone thats outhitting you by 30-40 yards can wear on you after a while. Hopefully I can find some secrets of long drives or how to train myself to hit them with some sound help from you guys!
