Post what your longest drive of 2015 was, or as close as you can remember. Hitting sprinkler heads and rolling on cart paths counts :-) Thanks for the thread idea @bkuehn1952.

Here's my stats from my last 15 rounds, thanks again @GAME Golf.

Not sure where I hit my longest drive, might have been in Phoenix/Scottsdale.

A few 285+ yard drives from the elevated tee box on hole  #13 at my home course.   If I hit solid, I can hit it to an edge of a downhill slope and it will bounce the ball forward for extra 30 yards.

I had one at 325 yards measured by my GPS. Slightly downwind (maybe 5 mph) and slightly downhill. However, the number of 275+ yard drives I have hit have gone done considerably this year as compared to previous years.

When I first got back to playing back in March I was driving 200-210 (if I was lucky enough to hit it straight).  I've now hit 3 that have gone over 240 and my fairway percentage has gone way up!

I don't typically measure my drives as an average good drive may be 230 yards.  I do pull out the GPS at times, though, when I really hit a solid drive and the conditions are such that the ball will get out there a bit (firm fairway, no wind or helping wind, warm, etc...).

I estimate 265 yards on a flat hole with a slight helping wind at Rolling Meadows.  The hole is listed as a 443 par 4 but I think the yardage is inflated and the tee is never all the way at the back.

Longest this year (actually including all rounds since I've started using Game Golf a couple of years ago) is from back in March on a straightaway par 4 (#15 at Mile Square Players for the OC folk) that almost always plays downwind ... 313 yards. :)

If the stars align & I catch it dead solid perfect, my longest drive is 260 yds (average 235-240).

301 :) and it was a pushed drive..

I do hit a couple 280-290 drives a round though so that's nice.. But when I make good contact my drives are usually between 260-270.. Now I need to work on always making good contact!

345 on the 18th hole at my home course. Hit a 15 yard push fade that took off like a bullet.

355, with a tailwind and possible cart path bounce. Though there was no damage to the ball I won't rule out the possibility.

About 275.  Downhill, slight breeze, fairly dry conditions.

I've had a fair few upwards of 320 this year and one made 330, but the best was a big draw that found a downhill channel on a tight fairway. It was the final hole when I had a one-shot lead in a 'friendly' match... so, perfect timing!

I had just a couple over 200 yds left on this straight 508 par 5 (flag in the middle of the green), so 305 yds.  It was downhill and downwind on a dry fairway hitting the precise spot on the left side of the fairway where it will roll another 50 yards, funneling to the middle.  My average drive is around 215-220: good times! :)

GAME Golf tells me 352 yards, but I don't know if it was this year or not. No, that was last year at Delaware near Columbus, OH.

http://www.gamegolf.com/insights/off-the-tee

Just hover over the longest drives and it'll tell you when and where you hit it, @mvmac.

Doing that, it says 310 yards on #14 at Alaqua Lakes back in January (with @JetFan1983).

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
