That's the only way 162 ball speed is carrying 290.


I'm more perplexed on how he got a 162 out of a 126 mph swing. That should be well into the 170s.

Assuming this was in the 90s since you were playing with a balata. If someone you played with could "bomb them over 350 all day long," he would have won the Men's Open Division Long Drive Championship 7 times between 91-00.
If he could consistently hit it straight.

He couldn’t. Saw him fly a ball on a 350 yard par 4. It was more likely to be 30 yards left or right of it, but it’d be there.

Nope. 4 of them won the 4 man scramble national title. My team finished 2nd in the state qualifier. We played out of the same club. The only guy of the 8 who wasn’t a plus handicap was the bomber.

You are so stupid it hurts. Clearly you never tried it. If you don’t get 1 in the grid, you’re out. At any point along the way you don’t get one in the grid you’re out. I tried it once, didn’t get one in during a round, was out.

Why are you such a miserable a-hole? You clearly know nothing about the game. Trying to get banned or something?

Well I do knock the ever living shite outta the golf ball. Ball speed could have been wrong on the machine.

Point is, you are losing your shite because you cant wrap your head around someone driving the ball as far as you? or that someone who posts on the GOLF BOARD knows a long drive competitor? You are so simple minded it should embarrass you, but I know it doesnt

I’m not losing my shite, nor do I care if you or anyone hits it as far, farther, shorter, higher, lower, whatever. You either just don’t know what you’re talking about or a liar.

He specifically said he wasn’t a long drive competitor. Although he would have literally won the event and been the longest hitter in the world. Learn to read.

Don’t get your feelings hurt because you got called out. Maybe the boys at the local muni will believe your bullshite. Try it there

Even the guys who you claimed hit it 320 all day would be competing for the top spot in world long drive back in those days.


I doubt the 3 or 4 of the top 10 longest hitters in the world played at your club.

I’ll have you out at squire creek and see if you can get to any of the par 5s in two (after you blast a couple ob since you get 1.25 smash on your drives)

Is hitting the ball 350 considered one of the longest drive hitters in the world in 2005?


eta: 377-yard

Why were yall using balata balls back in 2005?


Oh and if you can hit it 350 on a par 4 of your local club I think it’s a safe assumption you can get another 15-20+ yards if you are using equipment optimized for long drive comps and only aiming at a giant grid as opposed to a green.

For instance, Bryson DeChambeau’s career long average over a season is about 325. He hit 406 at the wld finals in 2022.
