Monday I played I round of golf with some newbies, allways like to do so, hole 5 is a 400 yds par 4 and I just missed a brirdie, they were impressed .... next hole is a 550 yds par 5 with the widest faiway you can imagine, I took out my fun 6 degr. driver with 48" shaft and hit it almost pure, it went, went, went .... I picked up the tee and asked if it had landed..... don't know what happened, but it landed way over 450 yds out ......

Yesterday about the whole 800 members seem to know I am the club's longest hitter, and I don't have the faintest idea ..... how I did it

I hit one about 425-430 in a high school match my sophomore year.

Of course, the hole I was playing had a little road running right along the left side of the fairway and I hooked it just enough to run it down the road and then back into play.

Not nearly as impressive as your shot! I would like to have seen that one.

So, do you carry an additional 6 degree driver with 48" shaft just for these occasions to impress golfers you're playing with with your driving ability? Or is this driver the standard driver you play with?

I have heard of people playing two wedges but never two drivers

I hit one about 425-430 in a high school match my sophomore year.

I hit one almost half a mile at the Brickyard course in Indianapolis last year. Part of the back 9 is inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I took out a ball and hit a 7-iron down the back straight-away. The trajectory was perfect and the ball bounced and bounced "Tin Cup-style". I lost sight of it, but it went a LONG way.

Awesome! I've always thought it would be so cool to play four holes that are inside the Brickyard.

So like, does anyone actually believe he hit a 450 yard drive.?

Was it Ian Woosnam who also did this at the British Open one round?

Well maybe he has kryptonium golf balls that give him +250mph clubhead speed.
