How Far Does the Average Golfer Hit Each Club?
The average distance a golfer hits each club varies depending on a number of factors, including swing speed, club head speed, and loft. However, there are some general guidelines that can help you estimate how far you should be hitting each club.
Driver: The driver is the longest club in the bag, and it is used to hit the ball the farthest. The average golfer hits their driver between 200 and 250 yards.
3-wood: The 3-wood is a shorter club than the driver, and it is used to hit the ball a shorter distance. The average golfer hits their 3-wood between 180 and 220 yards.
5-wood: The 5-wood is even shorter than the 3-wood, and it is used to hit the ball a still shorter distance. The average golfer hits their 5-wood between 160 and 200 yards.
Irons: Irons are used to hit the ball a variety of distances. The shorter irons (7-iron and up) are used to hit the ball a shorter distance, while the longer irons (3-iron and 4-iron) are used to hit the ball a longer distance. The average golfer hits their 7-iron between 140 and 170 yards, their 6-iron between 150 and 180 yards, their 5-iron between 160 and 190 yards, their 4-iron between 170 and 200 yards, and their 3-iron between 180 and 210 yards.
