Curious...does it count as a 200 yard drive if you hit 150, then it hits a cart path and rolls back towards you another 50 yards? Cause I've done that...:angel:

Oh my goodness that reminds me of something that happened to my mom. She was playing in a scramble, and they got to a par 3 that was over a little creek. Well the far edge of the creek was about 150 yards. So she tee'd up, hit the ball, it flew to the far edge of the creek, hit a rock and came flying back at the tee box. The ball ended up literally just a few feet from her.

No, think physics.

Total displacement would be 100 yards. :D
 
I'm pretty sure she was joking and being self-deprecating.
 
The average driving distance for the PGA pro's so far during the Bay Hill event is 281.8 yds. Says a lot to me.
 
Dyna,
Keep in mind that that course is designed for shorter tee shots and has almost zero roll with the exception of a few holes. They are also playing into a strong wind the last few weeks in FL. Bayhill will only have 1-2 holes that are downwind today if it keeps up. Similar to Transitions where the average was about 280 as well. Because the course is incredibly tight.

I noticed that last night while watching the event. Can't recall which hole is was but it was something like a 410 yd par 4. Tiger tee's off & with his 2nd shot he still had 150 to the pin. Sounded really messed up that he would only have a 260yd drive.
