Distances
For anyone who has ever played the game, the problem of hitting the ball too long or short is a tough one. Almost all amateur golfers overestimate their distances with all clubs. Most amateur golfers look to their "career long" distance with a club (i.e. because three years ago they jacked a 7 iron 170). The best and cheapest way to find correct distances is probably going to a flat range and hitting a series of shots to find your average. The problem of hitting the ball too short is usually incorrectly credited to hitting a weak shot.
Check out this distance calculator in the works by TheDeepRough.com. Though the tool is still in testing, it gives a pretty accurate measurement based on the user's answers to several questions.
Thanks for the publicity! I'm glad you enjoyed using the tool. If you have any suggestions or find any other bugs, be sure to let me know.
