My brother was paired with 2 Remax long drivers once. They had 48 in clubs and absolutely destroyed the ball. One of them used to be a Major League Baseball player that didn't make it. He also hit a 260 yard 3-iron... from the fairway.

I had a drive that defied physics once. Perfectly straight down the fairway, but we never found it. Four of us saw it go perfectly down the center, and we never found it... Sad! It was the best drive I've ever it.

So you played with Jason Zuback? So he hit it straight down the fairway ....and it found a "black hole" bunker??? The Remax first place is 250k this year, sounds like a shoe in, make sure you get your 10% managers cut....

Longest I've ever seen regardless of playing conditions was hit by me, roughly 400 yards. Absolutely ridiculous situation (high elevation, downhill, 25+ mph wind). I'm not a long hitter either (avg. about 260).

Longest I've seen in normal conditions is probably around 330 or 40 by several people.

I still don't know how my brother in law did this: He had an 160 yd approach on a dead straight 575 yd par 5. No wind, but AMAZING Texas roll.

I still don't understand it.

I didn't see it but have played the Miracle Hills course in Omaha Nebraska where a guy set the world record of a 447 yard hole in one in 1965...and you all think this new equipment is so great...his record was beat by one yard in Hawaii in 2007.

I hit one 330 or so a few weeks back, favorable wind though. I believe I hit the ball around 290-300 when well struck. Sometimes that happens a few times a round, sometimes not at all.

A guy at our club: (these are drives I've personally observed)

1st hole: 395 yards, he was 38 yds. out, no wind. 357 yds.

345 yd hole: Over the green on his drive.

535 yd par 5: 165 out on the drive.

I think this guy hits it as long as the long hitters on the PGA tour, on a consistent basis. Many drives in the 320-335 yd. range.

BTW: my best ever on the 1st hole: 95 out. about 300 yards on the drive.

Mine this year at The Wilderness at Fortune Bay - Tower, Minnesota.

I drove the green on a 325 yard par 4 (#13). It hit near the pin and rolled to the back of the green. The drive was around 340 yards.

360. Hit it myself. I Bombed it right down the middle of the fairway. It's a flat fairway, but it has small hills running along the right side. I hit a drive that was perfect trajectory- a lot of carry and a lot of roll. It probably landed at about 300 or so, hit the downhill of one of the hills, and rolled the rest of the way. Hit it on with a 9 iron and two putted for birdie

    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
    • Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
    • I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
