Interesting.

quick web search for golf head mph - "Definition: "Clubhead speed" is a measure, in miles per hour, of how fast the clubhead of a golf club is traveling at the point it impacts the golf ball. Clubhead speed can be recorded by a launch monitor or other radar-employing device.
On the PGA Tour, a typical clubhead speed is 110-115 mph. On the LPGA Tour, 90-100 mph. Most "average" golfers don't approach those speeds, although some big hitters can exceed what the pros typically average. But a typical recreational male is probably swinging somewhere in the neighborhood of 85 mph, while a typical amateur female golfer is probably around 60 mph."
