Most golfing newbies ask how far a golf club distance can go, and with how much force should they hit? Generally each golf club has a specific distance range. But in reality it really depends on your swing, and the power of your hit.

A golf club distance depends on a variety of things such as the type of club you are using, the weather condition, the fairway, your physical fitness, your age, your gender, your swing speed, and how your club head connects with the ball.

Sometimes one person’s 5 iron distance is another golfers 3 iron or 7iron distance. According to golf digest most amateurs usually hit their drives at around 195-205 yards. So don’t compare yourself with the pros, because PGA pros hit theirs at around 280-320 yards, while LPGA pros hit at 230-270 yards. See the disparity even in the pros category?

Long Hitter or Short Hitter

As you play regularly you will slowly see whether you are a short hitter or a long hitter. Of course do not expect to be a long hitter the first time you play golf. But whether you’re a long hitter does not always mean that you’re better than the short hitter. After all, there’s still the issue of your ability to putt.

You have to remember that it’s not just hitting the ball. You have to able to hit the ball, and make it fly straight or reach the target. You know there’s no use for long hitters who frequently get out of bounds.

Whether you are an armature golfer or a seasoned one there are always tips to help your swing and take some strokes off your score. Improving one's golf swing is all about learning and perfecting the basics, and from there you build your way around it. The biggest problem is that no two people are the same, and ever body is different and reacts to certain motions completely different. So the keys is for ever person o perfect is swing in there own unique way.

The fundamentals of a swing are as follows;

1. Grip, how you hold the club.  
2. Posture, how you set up to the ball. This is a key to a successful golf swing. The width of the stance, the knee being flexed, and straightening of the back is all aspects of posture. The angle the back maintains throughout the swing and the bending from the hip socket are also related to the posture  
3. Pivoting, how you move your body from your head to your toes this excludes your hands and arms.  
4. The hand and arm relationship, what the hands and arms do in the golf swing.  
5. Alignment, how you pick and set up to your target.  
6. On the mental side, is the ability to play using different strategies. I would think that this is the most important aspect of the golf game. At times we wonder why is it when we get so frustrated with our poor play that you just get up and hit a great shot without thinking about it? Most sports require 90% of your mental capacity and the rest is skills. Tiger Woods is a perfect example of this principle.
