320 yd drives aren't typical at all.  The average is 285-290.

Golden State Tour Championship at Oak Valley in Beaumont, CA
Had a student who is a pretty good mini tour player and has made it to 2nd stage of q school eaxh of the past 2 years
Shot 15 ubder for 4 rounds to finish  t-7th.  Only finished 11 shots back!!! :o
this a a former Landmark course. that I believe
curley-did for the Dye's.  In my playing days it was a perennial 2nd stage site that I made it to finals with over par scores a few times.
Many years and a lot of lbs ago.
the next wave IS longer, and I believe the grooves will change things, but very simply, there are more, better and bigger athletes playing
and their training is awesome.  When they are on, low scores are normal.
Being able to shoot a decent score with no game is the problem for the guys you never hear from

That's not true.

In 2007, the tour driving stats have 133 golfers driving the ball more than 285 yards, on AVERAGE.

18 golfers averaged over 300.

In addition, I don't believe they measure driving distance on par 5's where the golfers look to drive it further.
