Now that I can type a little more I wanted to share my thoughts.

I'm basically in the same boat as you. I hit my driver around the 220-240 mark most of the time and can stretch it out to 250 if I'm lucky. I think the biggest thing that helps me is not playing from tees that are too far back for my distance. I've found that 6,000 yards is a perfect distance for me. I get some par 4's that I can hit a short iron or wedge into and some that I have to use a longer iron or hybrid. Short game skills definitely help more than imanigeable too. I played with Erica's grandpa last year and a long drive for him was 220. He killed me on the scorecard because he got up and down all day long.
