I bring this topic up as I want to know if you guys play with people who think they are better than they really are. I will list my clubs and what distance I typically use them in as a reference point. The gaps are affected by lie, uphill, downhill and overall conditions for the day.

Driver 250+
3 wood 215 - 250
2H 190-215
3H 180-190
4H 170-180
5I 160-170
6I 150-160
7I 130-150
8I 120 -135
9I 110 - 125
PW 80 - 110
AW 50 - 80
SW 70 and in

I own a sky caddie (so I know how far I hit each club) and these distances listed are the gaps I will play a certain club and I play with golfers who could become alot better trying to play distances that are more realistic. Several times in a round I'll see a guy have 130 uphill to the green on a sidehill lie trying to smash a PW to the green in hopes he hits it pin high. The odds of pulling off that shot are probably 1 in 10 and yet they do it round after round. Do any of you lower your scores by being humble on what club you hit? By looking at my bag you can see the short irons are where I try to hit more accurate shots by taking more club and hitting it straighter.
