Who was the shortest to win a golf major?
In recent times probably Corey Pavin (US Open 1995), and before that most likely Paul Runyan (USPGA - 1934 and 1938). Pavin averaged about 250+ yards with his drives, and the archives indicate that Runyan was around the 220+ yards mark.
Comparisons between the two are a bit hypothetical given the differences in technology.
They were both excellent golfers in their prime and made up for their slight builds and comparative lack of length of the tee with unerring accuracy, canny course management, and great short games (no pun intended).
How do you determine what degree golf driver is best for you?
The best way is to go to a local pro shop or golf shop, and hit a number of drivers and see which one gives you the best flight, distance and spin rate. The lower the spin rate obviously the more distance you will get. It is however a combination of both the head and the shaft.
Generally if you are just beginning i would suggest a 10.5 with a regular shaft. But if you have a very high ball flight you may want to go as low as 8.5, a mid flight with say a 9.5 and if you have a normally very low flight you may want to go to a 10.5. The shaft flexes go by swing speed, a regular is for slower speeds, a stiff is for faster speeds and an x-stiff is for very fast swings.
The most common combination for amateur golfers is a 9.5 stiff, but you should really try and number of drivers out as you notice the difference greatly.
How is your golf handicap applied by hole?

Using your handicap, you get a shot on the hardest holes 1 being the hardest and 18 being the easiest.

Skins is a style of play/competition. Normally you will place a certain amount of money to bet per hole. Ex) lets say you bet $5 per hole. if you win a hole (have the lowest score on that hole) you get "that skin" and when the round is over you get $5 (or whatever amount you set) per "skin".
In theory the driver will hit the ball farther, but it will be harder to control. Also the shaft will be slightly more flexible.
What if you hit a tee marker with your drive?
There are two different answers, if the ball is not in play there is no penalty, and you can replace it. If the ball is in play there is a one shot penalty and you must replace the ball to it's original position, failure to do so results in a two shot penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in matchplay.
What determines if the ball is in play? The ball is in play once a stroke has been made hitting the ball, so essentially on each hole, once you've hit the ball off the teeing ground, the ball is in play.
