I have to report that I hit my first GPS confirmed 306 yard drive earlier today. Downhill, hard ground and a 40+ mph tailwind might have had something to do with it ;) Trait being said the ball was behind a tree so I had to punch out and I still 3 putted it for a bogey. The drive however was worth it :)

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

My parents always laugh at a drive when you go under the ball and pop it up..."Look at that 300 yard drive, 100 yards up, 100 yards out, and 100 yards down".

Great drive though man, I forget what event it was, but the TV crew had a meter on how far the ball ran on the ground and those guys were picking up 99 yards on the roll. So don't be hating on your shot.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Haha My driver swing speed is around 100 give or take 2 mph, so with a good swing, I have a carry of around 250. So I was very happy with it.
