Honorable mention to the guy who can out drive most people with a shot from between his legs ;)

Fitting video for a distance thread.  I especially like how he appears to have a very significant tailwind and a fairway 20+ yards downhill.  I think @ProGolf probably measures his drives on the same tee box.

I was a little disapointed with the bag of flour trick, I thought he was going to hit it in the center but he really just nips the top and breaks it open. I was hoping he'd punch a hole right through the center.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yea, those long drive guys have terrible accuracy. Seriously, it was 5 feet in front of you, you gotta hit that, buddy. Note to self: ugly pants and drive distance correlate positively.

I was thinking the same thing. :/

I know, I was not impressed with the flour bit. I was hoping he would nail the center and you would get the whole bullet effect. Small entry wound, big exit wound. Like tons of flour exiting the back of the bag, big poof.

Still, it is better than my flour bit: swing really hard and top the ball so that it bounces once before the flour and directly over the top of it.

I've mastered the little known art of hitting the cart path - if I do my part, carry is usually around 450 yds (have to be careful on par 4's).

    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
