This was sometime between 1971 to 1975. The AVERAGE drive on tour was 242 yards. About where they hit 3 irons today! Based upon this stat, Mr. Hogan was actually pretty long, unless he was exaggerating his yardages like all the experts on the golf forums. Kevin Kevin, I always get a kick out of putting people on a Launch Monitor. I always ask them how far they hit their driver. After I look at the numbers, there is always a major gap in where they think they are (ego driven) compared to where they really are (ball speed). __________________ Drew Let Your Motion Make the Shot. drewitgolf View Public Profile Send a private message to drewitgolf Visit drewitgolf's homepage!
