I'm perfectly happy hitting it 250-275 off the tee. After all I'm 64 and am grateful to be able to crank it out that far. But when a "big hitter" joins the group it's an entirely different story. I find myself trying to keep up with 300 yard drives and 200 yard 7 irons. It takes me awhile (and many ruined shots caused by overswinging) to get back in my own groove.

Do you know your own limitations? Are you influenced by stronger hitters and feel you must keep up? Or are you the type who ALWAYS plays within yourself no matter what's in front of you?

You can't pay attention to what anyone else is doing. You just have to hit your shots the way you see it. I know what you mean though I have to resist the urge to try to kill the ball when I am playing with a big hitter. Remember though that those guys really don't have an advantage unless they can control their distance, if they are hitting a 7 iron 200 yards one time and 180 the next their game will suffer, better to hit it 165 every time.
