Kybra: Using a 250 yd driver of the tee, 7 mile wind at my back, I aim over the rough onto the fairway 218 yds. out. Hit a perfect full shot and it travels 215 yds in the air and lands in the rough and sticks, no bounce.
which hole / course is this?
I hope you didn't put top spin on that drive thinking it would make you hit the ball farther.
I can perfectly see a 250 yard driver only carrying 215 with top spin or even no spin on some particular holes.
