Ok, I am fourteen years old. I can drive the ball between 180-220 yards on the fly, and with the roll of the ball the furthest I have ever hit the ball is 265 yards. I was wondering is this considered good? Is there a website that says the distances the average person in each age group can hit certain clubs?
Thanks for all the help,
Tiger Wood's Fan.

That's pretty good for your age. You shouldn't worry about it too much anyways, you should more distance as you get older, you aren't fully grown yet I'm guessing.
But distance is definitely not everything. I've seen too many times someone bomb it down the fairway and end up with bogey or worse on the hole. You have to have to be well rounded in all aspects of the game. Because even the pros have bad days with the driver, but make up for it with their short game or iron play. Tiger Woods could miss every fairway/be in deep rough and still shoot under par.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can be awesome with the driver, but there are 13 other clubs you have to be proficient with too.

you'd be driving for variety of 7 hours, relax a minimum of each 2 hours for 20 to 40 minutes every time to stay alert even as driving. Get a mechanic to provider your automobile previously going. supply up at petrol stations and ask guidelines. they have more effective powerful maps to get you the position you pick to pass. force interior the sluggish lane on the interstate and pass 10% below the speed reduce (eg 60 mph zone, force at fifty 5 mph) that way, any idiots can pass round you and also you basically isn't faster than the different site visitors, so no overtaking. Have coca-cola, espresso, snacks, etc to maintain wide awake. leave about 6 am you receives there previously top hour site visitors. sturdy success and performance relaxing

That is pretty good, but distance should not be what you are shooting for. Hitting the ball straight is 10 times more important than hitting it long. I remember playing against my grandpa and while I was driving the ball 300+ and wild he was hitting the ball 150 dead straight and he always beat me.

I am also 14 years old and I can carry the ball around 230. That is pretty good, and you could probably compete against other 14 to 15 years olds if the rest of your game is good. keep working hard and practicing to be a great golfer.

Amazing, I'm also 14 years old and have the exact same averages and longest drive!
The kids on my golf team though, can hit 280 yards on average.
If the rest of the game is fine, you'll be good.
But we're pretty short off the tee compared to other guys.

Not bad remember swing quality produces distance I'm 5-9 so I'm not the tallest guy in the world but I hit it about 290+ I'm 25 so hang in there in a few years you will gain distance if you have a good swing.

Any distance is a good drive distance if your score for the hole at the end of the day is a par or at worst, a bogey. Distance is good but as Bobby Jones said, "Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears."
