Okay, so I’ve been digging into golf stats lately, specifically the average club head speed on the PGA Tour. It’s something I’ve been trying to improve in my own game, so I wanted to see how I stacked up against the pros.
My Data Hunt
First, I started poking around online, trying to find some reliable numbers. I figured the PGA Tour’s official site would be the best place to start, but honestly, it took a bit of digging.
I found some interesting stuff, mostly from the ShotLink data. Seems like they track everything these days! Eventually, I stumbled upon the key stat I was looking for: average driver ball speed.
The Big Reveal
Turns out, these guys are hitting it fast. The number I found stated the current average driver ball speed on the PGA Tour is 173.63 mph. I have to say when I have seen the number I did not beliveve it.
Putting It Into Perspective
Now, I’m no pro, not even close. My own ball speed… well, let’s just say it’s a work in progress. But seeing that number, 173.63 mph, it’s both intimidating and motivating.
- Intimidating, because, wow, that’s a lot of speed.
- Motivating, because it gives me a clear target to aim for.
So, I have kept tracking my number and tried many different ways to increase it. But it is not easy. Although it is far away from the number I found, I will keep trying and one day, I hope I can be closer to it!
