According to the PGATour website the 2008 average driving distance is 287.1 yards. http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/. So, if the average driving distance is 287.1 and the average roll on a Golf ball is 20 yards. Then the average CARRY distance for a tour players drive is 267.1. Due to different wind conditions, sea level, humidity etc distance can be considerably affected. Don't forget this average is for any tee shot NOT on a par three hole. (Sometimes the PGA just chooses 3 or 4 holes on a round and records these). The average driving distance the PGA uses includes Tee-shots with Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons. There are MANY MANY PGA men who can hit their Driver well over 300yards pretty much whenever they want to
