Whats the problem with distance? You could do with more length, it is easier to hit a 8-iron close than a 6-iron close BUT ... distance is not everything. I'll prove it you.

I was a scratch player at the age of 15. My average driving distance was 210 yards. I hit a 5-iron from 165yards ... I went undefeated for 3 years in amateur matchplay events and in 10 years won 19 titles. But, I hardly ever missed a fairway and almost never hit a bad shot. My focus was on quality strikes ...

Now my driving distance is around 260yards and I still break par with no problem. Between 2000 and 2003 when I played the tours and taught to pay the bills I won 4 times in Europe and America. With 260 yards off the tee? Yep.

Sure, I can also crank it up and pound my Strata's close to 300 yards but why? I'd rather hit 6-iron from the fairway than 8-iron from the rough.

Don't worry about distance ... hit the fairway, hit the green and chip and putt if you miss.
