This is just a comparison, stuff that makes us go "hmmm" you know? I mean, coming from Hawaii and watching Michelle Wie grow up, we pulled for her when she went up against the big boys at the Sony Open.
Well then, let's take a look at Michelle Wie's driver distance.

Michelle Wie's physical stature.
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Average driver distance: 256 yards.
Driver Accuracy: 61%
Now I can tell you this much, I don't hit my driver that far. But that's pretty far for a chick eh?
So this guy PGA Tour Player Luke Donald, an Englishman, wasn't a long hitter by today's standards. In 2011 he averaged only 261 yards. Hmm only 5 yards longer than pretty Michelle...however he did win that year with accuracy instead of going deep. I know what guys are thinking. "I want the long ball baby!" Like we all want longer... never mind. But hey, if a pro on the PGA Tour can win by accuracy, when the other monsters are banging it 50 yards past you all the time, getting to know those short sticks pays off.
