And it wouldn't matter how long your drive is, whether you use irons or woods or sand wedges or whatever other fancy doodads you have. It wouldn't matter if you have 4 more muscles than I have, or if you're playing with an eyepatch covering one eye. If we are both capable of the exact same thing, no more than the other, then we are evenly matched.

If you are more capable than I am, then we're not evenly matched. You'd go be with a group of people who are more capable. I'd be with a group that is less capable. And that might include men. It might include transgenders. It might include men who identify as women but are still men, and women who identify as men but are still women. I don't care who it is. I don't care how tall, short, fat, thin they are, whether their boobs are bigger or smaller than mine, or whether they pee standing up or copping a squat. I care only that we are evenly matched in ability.
The average male pro can drive a lot further than an average female. There is that upper body strength you overlook.
