You may disagree but without getting into a golf discussion this evening, I say distance does matter, is it the only variable in golf, obcourse not but it does come in play in golf. Just as putting, course Mgt..ect...

Do me a favor. Go back to the mid 1980s and find out what the average driving distance was for PGA Pros then and check the average driving distance now. Then, checking the average scoring average then vs now.

EVERYONE is hitting it further, but scoring averages arent going down. If hitting it further makes you better, then scoring averages should be plummeting....but they arent.
