51 here and I cant currently gauge my distance this season yet because I been struggling with the driver thus far. But I do know my ss has dropped from average 206 about 3 to 4 years ago to now average 102/3. So whatever that correlates to in distance on better strikes Im not really sure right now. And I am not even sure if age has slowed me a little yet or is it swing changes. I'd like to think its swing changes..lol
I do know one thing....a couple lessons last year with a different instructor and he had me swinging 112 which made me feel great that I could swing that fast however I could not control a darn thing at all so it was useless and I wasn't going to spend the whole season figuring it out so I went back to a more controllable 105ish. But as said it sems to now be about 102/3 on average.
Please tell me that "206" is a typo. If not, my depression has just deepened.
I'm 66. Although I'd like to just include my best shots and say I average 230-240, the reality is 215 with just over 200 yard carry.
In my 40's I was a big hitter. Now, though, I only concentrate on accuracy and my scores show it. I'm playing much better than I thought I would at this age. I also enjoy the game more. I've played all six rounds this year with the same ball. Somehow I gain comfort in replacing a ball because it's scuffed up instead of losing a ball in the woods.
