19th Hole
The current average driving distance of men and women amateur golfers by age and handicap

Distance in the game of golf is one of the hottest topics currently in the sport, especially with the USGA and R&A’s recent announcement that a plan is in place to roll back the golf ball for professional players.
When it comes to the amateur game, just how far are you hitting the ball compared to those in your age and handicap group?
Thanks to Arccos and their recently published study, you can find that out.
Per the report, which used data based on over 20 million drives – using Driver only – from the Arccos dataset, the numbers show that men’s numbers have increased on the previous year’s study but are down on the 2018 data. At the same time, women’s distance trends are continuing a downturn.
As for age and handicap, you can check out the full data and breakdown below, which also includes accuracy off the tee.

Can’t imagine Callaway is happy he’s got an M3 in the bag.

Same. A Callaway staffer using TM driver is not something they’ll be happy with given their obsession with being the number one driver in golf. Hopefully Xander tells them to deal with it.

Maybe Callaway will be trying to convince him to change, seeing how he was dead last in fairways hit the first three days. Lol. Imagine if was just middle of pack or near the top of fairways hit this week, he would have run away with the tournament.
