I agree with what you are saying for a single digit handicapper, however, for a new golfer that could provide more frustration than you already have if you write down your best effort with a given club and use that on the golf course. I’m currently a “bogey golfer” from the senior tees (sometimes worse) and yardage by clubs makes little difference because I’m so inconsistent as I aged, especially with my iron play. Let me be clear, I totally get what your saying as you need to know that you hit a nine 120 yards when hit solid and a five wood 175 yards, etc. Yes, you should write down your yardage with each club. My suggestion to a new golfer is to hit an extra club more , i.e. 8 iron, when one out of 6 or 7 tries you hit a nine iron about 120 yards on the driving range. Most golfers (except very low handicappers) don’t use enough club and come up short. Taking more club and a more controlled swing will help you improve your game. A Pro told me this more than once and it is very good advice for most of us golfers.
