How far a beginner will hit their driver will depend on factors such as age, strength, flexibility, size and technique. An elderly lady is unlikely to hit the ball as far as a 30-year-old man for example. For a reasonably fit man, a carry distance in excess of 200 yards would be pretty good. For a woman, a good driver distance could be anything from 100-200 yards depending on her athleticism. For very young juniors a carry of 100 yards might be considered good depending on their size and age.
