Again, the sole reason for me to take interest in this is to find a good reason to work out at the gym. I am fully aware that scoring and swing speed are not even remotely correlated, to start with. Regarding the correlation between swing speed and drive length the display by Ted Fort in Destin was very clear. He was longer than anyone else, but not because his swing speed was that much higher.

His opinion on the statement "majority of the pros are above 115" was in line with drewit. He'd say 115 was the average - at most. Probably a tad lower.
