i regulary hit drives in and around 300yrds with the occasional 300+ drive. what annoys me playing in scotland is you get no run on the fairways at all.unless it's been bone dry and sunny for long periods of time(yeah right) and or you are playing links golf. yesterday for instance i was playing kenmore golf club and on the 8th i hit a lovely drive with a nice penetrating ball flight with a draw.the hole was 405yrds and i had 110yrds in,and my pitch mark was literally 1ft in front of the ball.
