Most of the people who say distance doesn't matter are the ones who have it. Granted, you don't want to be 275 (which is long for me) into the woods, but having something shorter into the green is always better. I'm working at getting longer, but I know that most of the time, in most groupings, I'll be one of the people hitting my second shot first. I'll poke a couple out there a long way during most rounds, but I'm not a long hitter by any stretch of anyone's imagination. I'd love another 35 or 40 yards on average. But it'sprobably too late for that! I do know that I am hitting it a lot farther than I did 15 or 20 years ago when I was young and much more flexible, but I'd say that most of that is because I have learned to hit it straighter. Hitting it straight instead of slicing. That's a good way to increase your distance.
