  Is there any way to know which driver to use for each field?

  I have the covert, then would be interesting to know what are the longest fairways in the various fields  and contrary  the shorter , in order to choose before play the appropriate driver: 270, 272, 275 yards.

  Tks, guys

  Quite frankly from the master tees any of those distances is good. 5 yards one way or the other is not going to make a whole lot of difference on any course,if everything else is the same. That is precision and forgiveness. It is when get to legend and have to play from the longest tees in most cases that you will need the longer drivers.

  Personally I would always go for the longest distance, especially from Masters tees where you can cut corners on some tee shots. It is easier to hit a shot at less than full power if you need to, but you can't swing harder to get those extra few yards.

  The shorter the approach the better chance of getting the ball close (well theoretically lol)

  Just get to know the courses and where to drive to, - example is 9 on BPG or most holes on OLY where placement is vital.
