Total Distance Calculation:
| From: | To: |
The Golf Club Bag Distance Calculator calculates the total distance coverage of your golf club set by summing the individual distances of each club in your bag. This helps golfers understand their overall distance capabilities and identify potential gaps in their club selection.
The calculator uses a simple summation formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator adds up the maximum distance you can achieve with each club in your bag to give you a comprehensive view of your total distance coverage.
Details: Understanding your total club distances helps in course management, club selection, and identifying distance gaps. It's essential for strategic play and improving overall golf performance by ensuring you have the right clubs for various distances on the course.
Tips: Enter the maximum distance you typically achieve with each club in yards. You can enter distances for all 14 standard clubs or just the clubs you carry. Leave blank any clubs you don't have in your bag. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: What is considered a good total distance for a golf bag?
A: A well-balanced bag should cover distances from 250+ yards (driver) down to 30-50 yards (wedges), with consistent gaps of 10-15 yards between clubs.
Q2: How many clubs should I have in my bag?
A: The maximum allowed is 14 clubs. Most players carry driver, 3-wood, hybrids, irons (5-9), and 3-4 wedges including putter.
Q3: Should I use carry distance or total distance?
A: Use carry distance (ball flight distance) rather than total distance including roll, as roll varies greatly by course conditions.
Q4: How often should I update my club distances?
A: Reassess your distances seasonally or whenever you make significant swing changes, get new clubs, or notice consistent distance changes.
Q5: What if I have distance gaps between clubs?
A: Consider club fitting, adjusting lofts, or adding hybrids to fill significant distance gaps (15+ yards) between clubs.
