How to hit far?

Just my perspective.....long hitters should give strokes to short pee shooter like me.

on the topic, I had managed to increase my carry by around 20m when I sorted out my slice. It took me 4 hours training via reading golf mag on plane....I now have a close stance when I drive.

Then my turn to say it to the both of you?  

Power & precision is the lethal combo in top level golf - PGA Tour ... Who in PGA Tour currently has this combo consistently? Well, no prize for getting the answer correct ... Rory McIlory is The Man!

Rory hit more than 360 yards off the tee in 8 of the holes in WGC-Bridgestone Invitational 2014. Awesome for someone who is a mere 5 ft 10 inches tall ... Someone from the pro golf fraternity claimed that he hit the ball like a 6 ft 5 inches tall guy ... I wonder where his power comes from ...

Hi guys, I've just picked up this sport a few months ago and I'm wondering what is the typical distance for ladies using 7 iron? I'm of petite physique (1.55m and skinny arms no strength!) and usually hit only about 50m (or less, sighh). So just curious to know what's the norm for ladies who just started so that I can manage my expectations a little better.. 

Also keen to learn any tips on improving on the distance (somehow i can manage to hit relatively straight most times..) 

Jacjaq, considering that you've only played for a few months, the simplest way for you to see a distance gain in the shortest possible time is to focus on contacting the ball in the centre of the clubface consistently. That same tip holds for any level of the game from beginner to advanced.

There is no distance norm for ladies who've just started, everyone's different. The more efficient you are with your swing, the further you'll hit the ball, so don't worry about distance at this stage of the game, you can't run before you learn how to crawl.

As a start, focus on the fundamentals of grip, setup, and alignment, along with consistently making contact with the centre of the clubface and you'll be on your way to more distance.

Once you become more proficient and ingrain the muscle memory for the swing past the 7 iron where you're able to comfortably handle all the clubs in your bag up to the driver, and you're finally taking it to the fairways, that would be the time to move onto more advanced tips for more distance or otherwise.

Best way to hit far is too aim at the cart path and let the ball bump on the concrete. Learn this from Tin Cup.

I am with Birdman on this, don't worry about distance initially.
Just like learning to ride a bike, don't worry about going fast when you first get on it.
It will come naturally.

And being able to hit straight is great.
I find it more important.

By the way jacjacq, does all your clubs give you the same distance at this point?

Thanks all for the guidance will focus on getting my swing consistent and hopefully see results from there!

Lol yes DKing, so far I'm hitting the same kinda distance for all the clubs I've tried.. Haha

I suppose you are in a way "scooping" the ball rather than hitting down on it hence regardless which club you use, it goes about the same distance.
