Why? There are chicks that hit it 300 all the time. With today's club tech, anyone with decent clubhead speed can hit it 300. Rush prolly has 60 lbs on me and I can hit it 300 with a good roll, then I push my hernia back in.

Age. Rush is 68, and not exactly an example of fitness.
I used to be able to uncork a 300 yarder, now and then, with a Taylormade Burner Bubble and a Top Flite ball. I’m 61, have a Callaway XR driver, use Titleist balls, and if I get 250, that’s a good drive.
John Daly leads the Champions Tour with an avg. drive of 295. Rocco Mediate averages 267. Both are under 60.
I’m not saying he’s lying... but sometimes fishing stories do get embellished.
It was the week before last that I watched the Long Drive hitting championship on the Golf Channel and the woman who won it hit a drive of 413 yards..............LOL!
Granted, there's a major difference between athletes at this venue and those who compete on the PGA tour.
But to address your comment, yes, the women are now hitting long.........
