Bubba acted like a bitch over this. He was probably just scared to actually give it his best shot and lose. Everyone knows he hits it a mile it's not like he would lose some weird driving cred

He won the long drive twice in the times he participated I read the other day

One of them went like 340ish or some shite




Eta:

From the article

quote:

The long drive contest was staged for several years in the 1950s and 1960s and then again in the 1970s and 1980s, and is best known for the fact that Jack Nicklaus won it both times he competed.
And if you think today's golfers are the undisputed kings of distance, check this out: The Bear won in 1963 in Dallas with a knock of 341 yards, and in 1964 in Columbus with a drive of 308 yards – in the rain! For both of those drives, Nicklaus swung a persimmon-headed driver with 11 degrees of loft and used a wound Titleist golf ball.

That was pure good ole fashioned American horse power with cheese burgers and ciggs. Even hated practice.
Not some roid monkey.

Jack would be hitting it 500 yards with today's equipment.
