As amateur golfers, we love to compare ourselves against other players. Whether it's in relation to how far the average club golfer hits their 7-iron or how far amateurs hit their driver, we all want to check our performance against our peers in a bid to gain valuable bragging rights and understand where we need to improve our game.
