# A 230 yard drive

A drive that totals 230 yards on a fairway landing carries about 213 yards and takes 90 mph of club head speed on the published tour table, with 129 mph of ball speed. That speed is about a 17 handicap on the handicap model and about age 34 on the age model. On a 400 yard par 4 it leaves 170 yards, from where the fairway table needs 3.030 strokes to hole out.

## Key figures

- A 230 yard total drive carries about 213 yards and takes 90 mph of club head speed on the published tour table.
- On a 400 yard par 4 a 230 yard drive leaves 170 yards, worth 3.030 strokes from the fairway; ten more yards are worth about 0.04 of a stroke per approach.

## Scope

- The speed is the published tour driver anchor inverted for 230 yards of total distance with a modeled 8 percent roll; the tee shot rows use the site’s dispersion model with a spread scaled to the distance.
