This year is has become more apparent to me than ever before that driving distance is relative to course conditions and weather. For example, when the course FW's are wet and soft, I feel lucky if I get off a 200 yd. drive. But when the course FW's are hot and dry, I expect 230-250 yds on my drive because in such conditions there is so much roll out after the carry. During yesterdays round I even got off one drive of 285 yards that I became aware of. The course conditions can even determine whether or not getting onto the par 5 holes will take a minimum of 3 strokes to get on those greens or 2 strokes. Therefore, I don't think it is fitting to declare what my total driving distance is, but would be better to state what my average carry distance is. Nevertheless, I sure do love all the extra yards I get on my drive when the FW's are hard and dry. I can use all the help on my drive I can get.
