Trackman Combine
Golf critics talk about technology making golf courses obsolete because of distance, but what they fail to clarify is that this only pertains to 0.1% of the golfing population. In truth, the vast majority of golfers are playing from tees that are too long based on their club speed and skill level.
If golfers are to continue playing the same length tees, then optimizing their driver distance is going to be key to enhancing their performance.
Because of the trends and correlations found in the TrackMan Combine data, it is possible to calculate the proximity to hole for nearly any handicap or approach distance with high confidence.
By increasing your club head speed by 10mph, you can increase your driver carry distance by 27 yards.
Distance to target reductions from hitting your drive 30 yards further:
Yards left to pin: 224 to 195 = 43 feet closer
Yards left to pin: 202 to 173 = 37 feet closer
Yards left to pin: 184 to 155 = 31 feet closer
Yards left to pin: 165 to 136 = 25 feet closer
Yards left to pin: 102 to 73 = 7 foot closer
That means more greens hit, and more legitimate birdie putts.

Distance vs Accuracy
The impact of driving distance and accuracy on scores: For a 20 yard increase in driving distance, a typical 100-golfers score will decrease by an average of 2.3 strokes per round. For a one-degree improvement in accuracy a typical 100-golfers score will decrease by an average of 1 stroke per round. Extra driving distance is worth more to high scoring golfers than low scoring golfers. The results below are based on a simulation analysis in a 2013 Columbia Business School working paper by Broadie and Ko:
Strokes per 20 yards: PGA Tour - 0.8; 80s - 1.3; 90s - 1.6; 100s - 2.3
Stroker per degree: PGA Tour - 0.8; 80s - 0.9; 90s - 0.9; 100s - 1.0
