Trev319: whatever standard.yardages that are blatant lies.
Are you talking about the yardages posted for specific clubs, or something else? The club yardages are general guidelines and you have to practice and learn how the clubs and different balls respond in different conditions and on different courses.
If you are referring to something else- then I don't know what it is.
As Robert and others noted, it depends on how you play the course. I lost a couple of gold balls on bad shots. Bad shots. It happens. I have gotten a fair share of "breaks", or maybe they were just excellent shots (as I prefer to call them!)
If you are not enjoying it, maybe take a break and come back later - or not.
