..I would bet that 98%+ of golfers here (even us single digit ones)...cannot consistently hit an 8 iron 155 yards.
In fact, here are the 'averages' for the pros.

My one and only (to date
) hole-in-one was an 8 iron @ 161 yards (memorialized by a plaque from the course, due to a tournament)... but was also 15 years ago and was totally flushed and at the upper limit of that club. Even then my 'average' for that club was about 150 yards.
And yes, I realize there are those rare individuals that can hit a golf ball a long ways...all through the bag.
After all, how else could the old adage that
"the woods are full of big hitters"... ever have come about?
