It's not 'who' that determines the distance, but rather 'what'. And that 'what' is apparel. Yes, some apparel has magical powers that increase distance. Sounds ridiculous, right? But it's true!
Anyway, golf is not just a sport where you show off by smashing long drives like a donkey trying to show off its unit size in front of a horse. Personally, I don't use distance-boosting apparel so most of my opponents outdrive me, yet I end up winning the match more often than not. There's nothing more satisfying and entertaining than watching an opponent bomb it way past me, only to lose in the end. 😂
