Gus brought up what I also think tends to happen. I bet I average less than 150 yards per round because of all my mishits. If I went on my potential it would be much higher haha.
Im a higher handicap and my iron distances are (approx) as follows:
SW: 95-100
GW: 105- 110
pw: 125 - 130
9i: 135 - 140
8i: 145 - 150
7i: 155- 160
6i: 165-170
5i: 175 - 180
4i: 185-190
If I just played to those distances instead of trying to crush one from time to time, my scores would be lower. You don't have to have huge shots to score low. It can help but its not a requirement. Unless you're really short with your clubs but even then, not always the case.
I try not to let what people say they hit get in my head anymore.
