Some have suggested moving the tee box back, but how would this affect the original design of the hole? Building new courses of championship standard will need to be to yards long, not a very practical solution. Maybe what is needed is limits being set by the controlling bodies as is found in Formula1 motor racing, the equipment and technology advances need to be curbed. This is an extremely controversial opinion and many disagree.

Some argue that we need to take a look at the club and the ball. The shaft length, clubface angle, and COR all affect the carry of the ball. The coefficient of restitution COR measures how much energy is transferred from the club to the ball on impact.

The higher the COR the further the ball will travel, but this factor is already controlled and limited to 0. Lowering the limit might reduce the distance a player can achieve. More important than the club, the ball seems to be the main component in achieving greater distance.

Balls used to be made by winding rubber bands around a solid or liquid core. With new techniques, the solid ball was developed with concentric layers of plastic and rubber, further enhanced by the specific design of the dimples. An average 3-wood shot carried yards and the average 5-wood carried yards.

The typical carry for a 3-iron shot was yards; for a 4-iron ; for a 5-iron ; for a 6-iron ; for a 7-iron ; for an 8-iron ; and for a 9-iron The average PGA Tour pitching wedge shot carried yards.

According the Leaderboard website, PGA Tour players' average 4-iron shots travel to yards including the roll. They can hit 5-iron shots to yards; 6-iron shots to yards; 7-iron shots to yards; 8-iron shots to yards; and 9-iron shots to yards.

The average distance for a pitching wedge is to yards; for a sand wedge to yards; and for lob wedges 75 to 95 yards. According to LPGA statistics, the average female professional's driver carries yards and travels total yards.
