As most of the readers to this golf travel blog are over the age of 30 we thought it would be most useful to focus on two broad age groups for both men and ladies. Focus on fitness: Keep to a regular exercise and stretching routine to help build your strength, flexibility, and overall fitness levels. And part of that process is having the confidence of instinctively knowing how far you can expect each club to send the ball – that’s key to your on-course management and success! This has an impact on how far we can hit the ball as demonstrated in our golf club distance chart below. Our club distance charts are divided into two age groups which we hope you’ll find useful in benchmarking your own game.

While I have most yardages in my head I use it mainly for the times when my confidence waivers and I need something to reference to help me make a comfortable decision. This makes things a little bit tricky because most of us tend to me at least to be a little vague of what our true distances are with each club in the bag. If a low unit cost drives your golf course’s budget, then our economical Golf Yardage Cards are the perfect alternative yardage guide. I know I might hit a horrible shot 30 yards short or worse yet a shank, but how does keeping this to calculate my normal distances help me?Our Golf Yardage Cards come in 3 different sizes: 6” x 8”, 6” x 12”, or 6” x 16” in either a vertical or horizontal layout in a nice foldable size card that fits easily into the golfer’s pocket. If you can attain these smash factor numbers as stated by Trackman, you are striking the ball as good as you possibly can. I’m going to have a lot more fun hitting irons into a green and having some birdie chances then if I’m always trying to crank a fairway wood in and missing or having long putts. I had the card in my pocket the first few times I played afterwards, but I started to memorize those distances.

This will change depending on your swing speed, which is related to your technique, flexibility, fitness, and height. I don't use a card, I just memorize my 7 iron yardage and extrapolate up or down from there (10 yards per club). Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. We recommend speaking to your club pro or a professional club fitter to determine the best shaft flex, clubhead design, and loft angles for your game.With the addition of lighter shafts in both the irons and the woods, the ball speeds and swing speeds are higher as well. An important factor to note for slower swing speeds, is that a higher lofted fairway wood or higher lofted driver can actually GAIN you distance because low lofted clubs are harder to launch at slower swings. Always read labels, warnings, directions and other information provided with the product before using it. That is probably the absolute best method, especially if you are a fairly consistent ball striker-not sure I would have the patience though!

This takes time and practice to achieve, but it is worth the effort because you’ll see the results almost immediately. The number calculated gives a ratio to show how much energy is moved from the club head to the golf ball at impact. A former captain and committee member, he has passed the Level 3 Rules of Golf exam with distinction having attended the national Tournament Administrators and Referee's Seminar.

Phone – you can save these numbers as a note or document for reference if your phone is easily accessible during your golf round.This is shown in the tables below when you look at the golf club distance chart for Men aged 30-60 in the mid-range and compare it to the LGPA Pro Ladies. If you don’t have a simulator, you may be able to find somewhere nearby where you can rent time in a simulator bay. When you fully understand and accept your distances that you hit the golf ball, you will score better.

Therefore, if you want to improve your distance with the same swing speed, you can work on improving your strike closer to the middle of the face. I have the players on my high school golf team do something similar to this but I don't make them carry it around.If all your buddies are playing from the same tees as you maybe you want to just keep playing those same tees with your friends. You’ll also be able to tell what level you’re at compared to the pros and how increasing your swing speed will impact your yardage. In fact, I'm not even certain those aren't my clubs (they have different yardages now, but I remember taking a picture like that at some point). Not all about swing speed: As mentioned above for amateur golfers whatever age, gender or skill level developing a proper technique and consistent club to ball impact can help to generate improved clubhead power and swing efficiency.
