# Gap wedge distance at age 50

A golfer of 50 carries a gap wedge about 90 yards on the age model, at 61 mph of club head speed, and totals 92 yards on a fairway landing. That is 6 yards behind the peak of 96 yards at 20, which the published fairway table prices at about 0.02 of a stroke per approach.

## Key figures

- A golfer of 50 carries a gap wedge about 90 yards on the age model, at 61 mph, and totals 92 yards.
- That is 6 yards behind the peak, worth about 0.02 of a stroke per approach on the published fairway table.

## Scope

- The age model eases a peak club head speed by decade and swings the gap wedge at the same fraction of its tour speed; the carry is the published tour anchor at that speed, and your own launch monitor carries replace it in the app.
