As part of a work league you get all kinds -- some players can break par on a good night and some are lucky to break 70 for 9 holes. Many of your average guys who play once a week have a trouble getting past 200 yards regularly and some can't hit it 200 yards period unless aided by strong wind.
I hit a drive a few weeks ago, absolutely crushed by my standards, and it ended up going 236 yards. I was playing with a couple other guys and a lady. I was about 40 yards past the guys who both had various degrees of mishits. The lady thought my 236 yard drive must have gone close to 300 yards. Nope, only to 230-240. Unless you play with very talented golfers who legit bomb it, most people are not hitting it even close to 300 and most recreational players I think have no idea how far 300 yards really is.
