Seems to be the most revelant stat other than scoring average. Long and straight off the tee and fairway seems to rule. Don't agree. I believe the more important stat is GIR. The long hitters on average out drive the short hitters by 20 to 30 yards and they tend to have better GIRs. When they're in the short grass they can have one to two less clubs into the greens (the second shot advantage). So, let's hit'em LONG AND STRAIGHT.
