The need for speed and power is one of the hottest topics in the game of golf.

"300 yards from the senior tees seems like a great future in Tuesday night league play."

Tim Brummett said. . .
"Never 3-putt. Drives are at most 14 shots per round, whereas putts are a larger portion of your stroke count, so never 3-putting will lively have a more direct and significant impact on lowering your score."

Brad Bettin Sr. said. . .
"300 yard drives, for sure; it'd reduce the likelihood of 3-putts, among other things."

Wanjohi Wa Njuguna said. . .
"I'd rather drive 299 yards and never 3-putt again."

Mike Rapp said. . .
"Easy. Never 3 putt again. Imagine the confidence on the first putt if you knew the next one was going in."
