alright, I'm in the process of dialing my distance with my clubs. I feel like I'm starting to get decent contact with the clubface. my Pro recommended that when in doubt, club up. yesterday's round, I wrote down a rough estimate on my yardages....

56* - around the green
A - inside 100 yards
P - 100 yards
9i - 110 yards
8i - 120 yards
7i - 130 yards
6i - 140 yards
5i - 150 yards
4h - 165
3h - 180
5w - 195
3w - 210
Driver - 220 to 250 depends on how good I hit it

my main concern was the irons. it seems off to me. I always thought I was able to hit 7i 140 yards. a couple of questions? do these numbers look alright for a beginner (2011 is my 2nd full season)? is it better to go long or short? is it safe to assume 10 yards between irons and 10-15 yards between hybrids/fairway woods?

any help or input is appreciated. Thanks.
