distance

[golf man]

exactly how far did you hit your driver as a kid.

anywhere from the age of 8-14.

[KTS1010]

Thats a big range between 8-14, because I changed drastically in size in those years. I think when I was around 10 I hit the ball about 150 or so and by the time I was 14 probably about 215-230. It dosen't really matter though since between 8-12 I played the front tees and then moved slowly up till I could play from any tee box.

[jphilbeck]

In 9th Grade I hit it about 200 and about 215 in tenth, then i grew and was at about 250-260 in 11th.

[blaird]

When i was 14 i hit the driver in the 250 range. The seven iron was around 150-155 with about a 120 pw. That was also about the 1st year the Great big bertha came out and that was my distance with that driver (one of the first titanium).

[nchladek]

If you are worried that you don't hit it far enough, don't because you can grow until you graduate from college. I grew 11 inches in high school and added about 75 yards on my drives

[bjackson]

^^^ and he's not lying. haha. kid hit driver maybe 200 freshman year of high school. got it up around 275 by senior year.

[Swingtheclub]

Never played till I was 14 maybe I hit it 200

 

Not something to worry about kiddo your bodysize will change too many times Just work on learning good fundamentals

[tjewell1994]

when i was 8, i hit the ball about 80 yards off the tee, i'm now 13 and hit it about 240.

[naples_golf]

^^^^ he's not lying i play with him alot.

My 10 year old son won a long drive contest (11 & U) at a tournament in western Illinois. His winning drive was 177. That's an above average drive for him on flat ground.

 

He's been measuring his drives over the last month (GPS unit). When he really plants one, it goes mid' 180's. His long (flat ground) is 193.

[LionontheProwl]

I hit around 175 when I was ten and now at 14 I am around the 280 mark.

[golf king]

when i was 8 i hit it probably about 120

when i was 14 about 230

and now im 16 and hit about 270-280

[brady2]

I'm sorry but no 14 year old hits it 280. Stop kidding yourself kid....

[oks871]

when i was/am:

 

8: 150

10: 165

12: 210 (i've SHOT up)

by the time i'm 14, i want at least 270

[LionontheProwl]

Alot of 14 year olds can hit it 280 or more I get outdrove all the time.

[rattler917]

At 15 (when i started) i was about 230, now at 17 im around 280 to 290. I've grown a few inches since i started, but i've also improved my swing exponentially.

[eli_yates]

when i was 14 i remember playing a few times and i would consistently be around 175 or 200. i didnt play ever but when i did i remember vaguely that thats what i hit. im now around 280 and im 22.

[mditans10]

When i was a freshman i hit it around 230, im now a jr and hit it about 275-290, ive grown about 6 inches sence the end of last Spring break im now about 6 foot. I really dont think that any 14 year old can hit it any father than 250 unless you hit purberty when you where 6 or somethin lol

[tjewell1994]

I'm sorry but no 14 year old hits it 280. Stop kidding yourself kid....

i was playing in a local tournament and was playing with a kid that was 13 and hit it about 290, it's really not that realistic, the kid was 5'9. i know a lot of people that tall who it it farther.

[rattler917]

tommyjewell, don't you mean "unrealistic"?

Okay when iwas 14 i hit it on the fly 260, thats shrot compared to other 14 year old (top players) who carry it 290 to 300 conistent, this is no joke, its just really good fundamentals, who are not big kids me 120 pounds and 5 foot 4 at age 14..."these guys are good"

[ShortStack]

I know a kid that is 14 can drive it 290 when he's got it together...

[birdiemachine11]

I am 15, and hit the ball about 255, and only hit is about 225 last summer.

[Range-Rat]

8: 100 Yards

 

 

Im 13/14 in November: 240-270ish

 

 

Long Drive=310 No Bull$hit

[driveforshowputtfordough]

Its true guys that some 14 year olds can hit it that far, im 17 and can hit it about 280 and i have a friend who is a freshman in high school who hits his driver 300 yards and his scoring average during the highschool season was a 36.1 since in highschool you mostly play 9 holes. He just has amazing mechanics and only is about 5'10 150, and Im 6'1 175 so it is embarresing when he outdrives me but hey all you see on the score card is a number not how u put it in the hole
