This game has absolutely no reflection on reality. From driving to iron selection to chipping and putting, the consistency of distance and accuracy is non-existent.
Regardless of average human capability or not, if a player progresses to a pro or master level, then "capability" should progress with them as well.
For example, if a player reaches pro status, then why shouldn't their drive capacity increase beyond 225, to say 275? Add a purchased club like the R9, it should increase to 300. The shot meters, in kind should also adjust with skill or club (faster selection, etc). If I have a 12 yard chip, and a chipping capacity with a PW of 25, and I strike a 3/4 swing perfectly, it should get to the hole or beyond.
Take some cues from other reputable games please...It is not enjoyable to play Bethpage as a pro status and not be able to hit a driver to the green on 3 with a 14MPH mind behind you. Or only carry 190 yards with a criver, 8MPH behind you on 5 and barely make the waste off the tee.
