Nate, I want to hit that ball like you. That's long.
My 7-iron is about 155-160.
155-160 is my range as well. Oh, to hit a 7i 175, but that requires the iffy 5i for me.

Steel!?!? They're called WOODs because they're made of WOOD
James, for what it may be worth, you are not alone. Thank you for posting, because I was beginning to think I was alone and was beginning to think other than my age something was wrong with me. Regardless of the yardage, the important aspect of the 7 iron is that whenever its used other than a lay up, the ball should end up somewhere on the green.
The beauty of tee it forward. It doesn't matter how far you hit your clubs!!! Get to the right tee boxes, and hit some greens!!
Because this quickly turned into a measuring/bragging thread and it's not really bragging when one mans 7 iron is lofted like another mans 6 iron.

I guess, if you want to play by yourself. I beat my buddies from the blues most of the time, even though some of them out drive me by as much as 50 yards. No chance they are going to let me hit from the whites.
Sounds like you need more understanding friends. I see this ridiculousness all the time at my club, where the long hitters take offense to the guys who are shorter hitters moving up a tee box. Bet you money it's because their massive advantage off the tee is reduced by 20-30 yards and they can't handle it.
Pathetic. I'm sorry, but I find that to be absolutely 100% pathetic (as someone constantly telling people to move up who I outdrive by 40 yards with ease). Tell them to tee it forward and respect Mr. Palmer.

That's fair, but what about tournaments? They won't let you pick your tee box in any kind of competition that I know of.
I'm sure Canadan will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the tournaments at are club that are handicapped allow you to play the tee at which your handicap is established. Obviously I can't speak for outside events though.

*not an Internet distance.
I thought you use the slop to calculate your course handy depending on the tees so as you move back HC goes up
at my club at Tournaments are played from back tees and you use your course HC
