Had to look up the word, pedantic, not complimentary

Not sure either what a decent golfer is. Is it a god fearing person or a golfer who doesn't swear. Really not sure as dictionary doesn't define a decent golfer.

Please give us an example of a decent golfer. Thanks

Maybe it's someone who can shoot in the 60's on a 6500 yard golf course. Not a lot of those around. Hope I am not being too pedantic!

Besides, Driver distance calculations, as well as Driver design and swing metrics, are usually optimized to induce roll.

Using that calculation with Drive "carry" only, decent players would be shooting in the mid-60's.
