What a crock of shit. If both man and woman tee off, the man puts the ball 300 yards down field, the women 250 yards, and still there is 100 yards to the hole, while the women has 150, the difference in the approach is so much different. The man can put more height on the ball thus stopping it at the green, while the women has to put more distance on the ball, lower trajectory and thus cannot stop the ball as close.
“Most of the
women don’t generate the same clubhead speed as the
men,” says Nilsson. “So they also generate less spin. And the flight on their
shots is generally lower and flatter, the ball releasing more after it lands. Where a
male pro hits, say, a 9-iron and pitches it 150-odd yards, the ball will grip on landing.
