So I recently got into a conversation with a Major OEM brand rep about how good tour players were and the distances they play at. He then shed some light on a particular formula that anyone can use to play their course like a Tour pro. In other words hit tee shots from similar distance based on your skill level. And the same thing with the approach shots that would be similar to what the pros would play at their skill level.
Now the same formula could be used to determine which tee set is best for you based on your skill level. But it's interesting that he pointed out that this formula would be comparable to playing your course based on your skill level like a tour pro.
"Avg 7i distance" X 18 = X1
"AVG Driver distance" X 14 = X2
X1 + X2 = Distance
For me this looks something like this:
165 x 18 = 2,970
265 x 14 = 3,710
2970 + 3710 = 6,680
For me I think this will hold true. I usually play between 6300 to 6500 yards. And find it much more difficult above 6500 yards.
