I did a quick google search and found this chart... While it's about as accurate as an internet golfers admitted distance, it does show a pretty logical dispersion of distances..

Club Men
Driver 200-230-260
3-wood 180-215-235
5-wood 170-195-210
2-iron 170-195-210
3-iron 160-180-200
4-iron 150-170-185
5-iron 140-160-170
6-iron 130-150-160
7-iron 120-140-150
8-iron 110-130-140
9-iron 95-115-130
PW 80-105-120
SW 60-80-100

Good to see - I am pretty much dead on with the last number for each row. So instead of retyping everything, there is my answer!

MD177 - also important to note that some golfers really change the loft of a club through their swing. Hence the ability for some average golfers to hit a 9 iron with 6/7 iron distance. I used to hit an 8 about 165 because I would deloft the club. Now that I dont do that, I am right at 140.
