re: What’s y’all’s longest drive

I did something like this earlier this year

It was a short par 4 with a fairway bunker and a couple trees in between the tee box and the green so I usually lay up right and chip in.

Rangefinder said 275 to the pin. 4 guys are on the green putting so figured I’m good to go. Was testing out my new 3w and gave it a rip. Felt well struck but looked slightly left. Looking to the left side and there’s a ball about 15 yards left and short of the green. Thought holy shite I smoked it and walk up to see that it’s not my ball. Guys putting tell me it’s over here. They said the shot bounced about a yard short of the green, bounced through the middle of them, missed the pin by about 6 inches, and wound up 3 yards past the green

I profusely apologized, but I figured there was no way I’d hit close to them much less through them with a 3w at 275. They were super nice about it and just told me they were impressed. Went on to have a good chip and sunk a 4ft birdie putt. Finished the round with my lowest score ever so it was a good day.

TL; DR: I hit my 3w about 285 off the tee.
