Well, folks, if you ever wondered how far them ladies on the LPGA tour hit their golf balls, you ain’t alone. It’s a big ol’ question, and I reckon a lot of people got it on their mind. Now, these women, they ain’t just swinging sticks like the rest of us. They sure can smack that ball down the fairway. Let’s have a little chat about them yardages and how they stack up.
Now, let’s start with the big one, the driver. Most of these LPGA gals, they can send that ball out there around 250 yards, sometimes a bit more. Ain’t like they hit it all that much farther than us regular folks, but they’re still good with it. I heard tell that some of ’em can get it out to 252 yards with a nice roll after it lands. But don’t go thinkin’ every woman out there is hittin’ it that far. Some of ’em, they’re a bit shorter with their drives, only makin’ it about 200 yards, but that’s still real good for anyone playin’ the game.
Then there’s the 3-wood. Them ladies can usually get about 210 yards outta that. Might not sound like much, but if you got the right club in your hand, you ain’t always lookin’ for that long distance. Sometimes, it’s more about bein’ accurate than hittin’ it far. And the hybrid, that one’ll get you about 180 yards on a good day. That’s like the middle ground, where it ain’t too long and it ain’t too short.
Now, let’s talk about them irons. 7-iron, that’ll take you about 150 yards if you’re hittin’ it decent. But I reckon, it ain’t always about distance with that club, it’s about control. You get that thing just right, you can put the ball where you want it. Then, them wedges come in when you gotta get real precise. Pitching wedge can go about 110 yards, but don’t be surprised if it goes a little shorter or a little longer. Them things can change real quick depending on how you swing it.
For those who like to hit that 9-iron, it’s good for around 135 yards. Not too shabby for when you need to just get it up in the air and onto the green. And if you’re really focused, there’s the 50-degree wedge. It’ll usually get you about 115 yards, but don’t hold me to it. Same goes for the 54-degree wedge; that one’s good for about 100 yards.
Now, don’t you go thinkin’ that every woman on the LPGA is hittin’ them long drives like the men on the PGA tour. In fact, very few LPGA players can crack that 300-yard mark. The ball don’t go as far for them, but they’re still hittin’ it a lot farther than most of us. You got folks out there on the tour who might hit shorter than the average, but they’re still smackin’ it better than most of us weekend golfers could ever dream.
So, to sum it all up, if you’re wonderin’ how far them ladies are hittin’ the ball, the answer depends on a lot of things. Some players might hit further than others, but on average, they’re not hittin’ the ball quite as far as the men. Still, they got power in their swing, and that’s somethin’ to be reckonin’ with.
