Club distance confusion from a newbie

[mobileadam]

Hi,

I’ve only been playing TGC19 for around 1 week (just picked up latest game) and I have a question about the shot / distance info. On the driving range it seems to suggest 275yards carry with a driver and some additional distance as roll. However when I hit the ball with a reasonable swing it goes around 320yards. Same thing for other clubs in terms of distance. I’m aiming for the 100% marker / guide at the bottom so I’m wondering how it is meant to work? I assume wind will have some impact but being inexperienced I have no real idea!

Thanks

Adam

Both wind and elevation affect distance. If the spot you are hitting to is way below you, then you will gain yardage....the opposite is true if it's above you.

Could be the tail wind and swinging greater the 100% I'm always going longer then I thing but i ALWAYS hit 101-105% So a 105% with a 275 club is another 14 yards PLUS more roll out. Add 14 to 275 and then add 25 yards roll AND a tail wind . . . .

BTW - I decided to get BACk into virtual golf. bought Tiger Woods cheap but then saw Rory was the Goto game - THEN say a game I had hever heard of The Golf Club - so purchased THAT game one week before TGC2 game out! SIGH!
