Golf Tip: Do You Really Need to Hit a 300-Yard Drive? By Fred Altvater If you watch golf equipment commercials on television, you would think everyone should be able to hit it 300 yards. The OPEN Championship contested last month at Royal Liverpool in England proved that long drives aren’t always the key to winning and posting low scores. While Rory, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler were looking for their golf balls and unsuccessfully trying to extricate themselves from the gorse, Brian Harman was satisfied to stay near the fairway, sometimes as much as 40 yards behind the longer players, playing to the middle of the greens, where he let his putter do the talking.
