You will never conquer golf.

Courses are different and a lot of variables come in to play which folks here have indicated. In observation many simply are not pumping it out there like they claim and whether it be ego or simply ignorance, it happens.
I hit a decent driver for an older guy and one of the longer hitters in my league games, but I know my drives can be erratic as all get out and definitely not as consistent as many of the other guys that I call rubber stamps. They simply amaze me at how they can repeat over and over.
Keep in mind these are approximates, but the day in question my better drives were 220, 225, 233, 236, 247, and 253 whereas my shorter drives were 173, 176, and 192. With these numbers you can see there was no way someone I was hitting very close to was 25-50 yards farther. What is really cool was that often him and I were standing close together on our second shots - that was really fun for me.
Also worth mentioning is, that was one of my better driving days in the last five rounds of golf with fairly decent fairway percentages. There was one round I had in the last five I was lucky if I could drive the ball a steady 200 and struggled to find decent fairways. Suffice it to state, I was doing some recovery shots that day
