Longest Drive Ever Seen

[allin]

There was a long driving exhibition a few years ago at my local course, by a Pinnacle long drive champ. A lot of the long hitting amateurs came out to challenge him. I am not counting them, since most don't play the same equipment on the course. I have seen a very good amateur I know drive a 380 yard par four several times. God makes him pay, he has had the putter yips for years.

Did you read the OP? It says on a flat fairway, with no wind.

Have you ever played in OK, 30+ mph is no wind!!!!!

Do long drive competitors count?

A few years back I was at my local grass tee range and some long drive competitor hopped into the adjacent tee. I probably wouldn't have noticed anything but he was using very brightly colored shafts (pink, yellow, orange) that caught my eye and the sound of the impacts were heavier and deeper.

So, I stepped over and asked him what kind of shafts they were. He said they were Harrison something or another long drive spec. I was like, interesting! I didn't want to bother him anymore, so I just went back to my tee and watched.

We were at the farthest tees and to reach the nets is a legit 320 yards. He was carrying them with ease, not to mention that the nets are a good 20 ft tall. I'm assuming he was crushing them a good 370 yards. It was impressive, but he had the funkiest swing.
