I once hit a ball so hard that it put a perfect hole in the face of my driver, it exploded out the back of the driver.  Sadly I only carried it like 2" and had to take a knock down gap to get it on the green in two.  It wasn't long after that, when I started using gardening tools because of the thicker gauge metal.

I am personally aware that Ernest Jones has been told by the United States government that he cannot hit driver on holes that run south because he kept hitting balls into US airspace.  Also he is the Canadian missile defense system, armed with just a Rocketballz driver and a bucket of ballz.  Otherwise he is not allowed to use Rocketballz clubs or ballz since the act passed by the US and Canadian governments both in march of 2013 outlawing the use of these items for EJ.

I once got hit by a ball with his initials on it...at my home course. Rumor has it he hit it all the way from Canadia.

They also banned him from using the Covert for fear of being a stealth bomber.

Mine is measured in revolutions. As in how many times it circles the earth before it lands.

Ok, ya'll are embellishing the truth and I propose to bring some realism back to this thread. I use an 11 degree Lynx Boom Boom with a Dynamic Gold S300 shaft. My swing speed is only about 90-95, (I use a 3/4 swing), but I hit the ball around 450 yards, so I only use driver on par 5's and par 4's over 449. The distance is more due to my aura (like in Golf in the Kingdom) than to swing speed. Initial launch is only about 115 mph ball speed, but the aura causes the ball to increase in speed as it climbs to the apex of its flight. Not everyone can see it, but those who can just kinda stare for a few seconds with a look of wonderment in their eyes. For real.

Basically in Canada, summer starts the day that EJ steps onto a teebox and fires off his first drive of the season.  The resulting kinetic energy warms up the atmosphere in a large fiery explosion and by the time EJ holes out #1 a 10yd approach for eagle and is escorted to the second tee box by his caddie, the snow has melted and the trees have grown leaves.

That's also when the bunnies start mating, triggered by my naturally occurring pheromones.

You guys are such jokers!

You know the moon is really not made out of cheese. No, it is really a drive that EJ hit through the atmosphere. If I had to guess it would be a Pinnacle. On a clear night, when the earth's atmosphere is just right, you can see the dimples and a mini "ej" that was sharpied on the side so that he can identify it as his.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
