There are many here who couldn't replicate their distance shot for shot on a driving range much less on the course where the result at least partially counts. Debating whether to use this tee or that teeing ground or this club or that club is akin to most of us discussing quantum physics and event horizons.
Then comparing any of us to the pros is like comparing apples and oranges.
Bottom line...hit a club you can hit relatively straight and in the air. I've seen more people hit driver that should be teeing off with a 3 or 5 wood/metal as they're lucky to get as much roll with the driver as they would a 3/5 wood in the air. Now factor in water hazards and you see way to many folks looking for golf balls instead of playing. COMMON SENSE doesn't usually trump ego, but it can...whereas continually hitting a driver when you usually top it is just foolish. Don't base your ability to hit a particular club just because you've hit it properly a few times in your life.
