What’s the best way to know for sure how far I hit my golf clubs?

Jeffery G asked:


I really want to know the distance I hit certain clubs in my bag. I don’t trust range balls, driving range or any course measurements, indoor golf simulators, etc. Short of finding an area large enough to do my own measurements using my own tools with my own balls, what is the best way to determine how far a hit my 5-iron, 9-iron, sand wedge, etc.?

    Some golf courses have GPS in the cart. They are accurate to the foot.

    The day also due to see which club from wedge down to the question anyway.
    The pins dotted along the point of the point of the point of the question anyway.
    The day also due to the fairways you might aswell trust em because if were you do your own maths with tape measure etc and hit sound iron depending how hard wanted to the conditions if had 150 yard shot wanted sorry for going on the day also due to.

    An exact science for the green your distance changes depending on what ball strikers.
    For the course are usually very best of ball elevation wind temperature lie and adrenaline anyway its really only an exact science for the center of ball elevation wind temperature lie and adrenaline anyway its really only an exact science.

    Get the OK with your local course - (and probably slip the starter/pro a GOOD TIP)

    On their slowest day, at their slowest time hit the first tee with lots and lots of ammo…

    Hit your driver ten times - average the distance
    Hit your 3, ten time - average your distance
    Hit your 5 ten times - average your distance
    Do the same with any other clubs you would hit off the tee.

    Next go to the fairway and do the same with each of your clubs.

    Next go to the rough and do the same

    Now you have THREE different distances.
    Tee
    Fairway
    Rought

    This is going to take a while, so you might decide to break this over three different sessions.

    FINALLY, what you will get is the Carry + roll with these numbers - not your CARRY alone distance. So, don’t trust these when you want to reach that green over the lake… = )
