Not likely.  I'm pretty sure it's sean_miller trolling us.

No way. The OP is WAY more cut than S_M was. I'm with 14ledo81, I think it's Gilberg's Bad Ass Uncle.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

What, is your swing made out of legos?  You have to "build" it just to take a video?  Come on, lets see it!!!

I hope your not going to video yourself with your shirt off and a pair of speedos on?

If really swings all out in the vid, he runs the risk of tearing a perfectly good outfit to shreds with that kind of torque and velocity.  So, what else would you expect?

This is my drive, averaging 50 miles per drive, but on warm sunny days a lot further. My drive is not big, but fast.

My drive actually changed history.  I was teeing off on April 14th this year on the 1st hole.  I knew if I hit it just right it would circle the earth and land in the cup on the 18th hole.  Unfortunately I hit it off of the toe.  Because of its velocity it actual opened up a hole in the space / time continuum and went back in time to the moment where John Wilkes Booth was just about to shoot Abraham Lincoln.  A little known fact is when Booth fired at Lincoln he actual was so nervous he missed.  My ball, however, didn't.  It came screaming in and hit Lincoln in the back of the head.  Because Booth had jus fired a gun everyone thought it was him and he fled in terror.  What they didn't notice when they rushed to aid Lincoln was a Nike OneRZN golf ball lying underneath his opera seat still steaming like the car in "Back To The Future."  Needless to say I had to take a dropped ball penalty and the rest, let's just say its history.

Actually, your drives are pretty realistic and believable. I have played with a quite few golfers in the 280 to 290 range, pretty impressive on the course.

Last month they held some kind of SCGA qualifier at Brookside Golf Course, and almost everyone hit as far as you. One kid (I presume 17 years old?) hit a 3 wood about 300 or so to avoid the water gully on #10. The starter said something like "At least a couple of these kids will be on the PGA tour in a couple years."

It's just that distance threads like this one are perfect for the responses you are getting.

BTW, I saw one of EJ's drives fly by and hit the International Space Station and fall into the JPL parking lot the other day )

My Drives are so big that I have to tell everyone within 30 yards of me to stand directly behind me otherwise the Sonic Boom that comes off my ball as it prepares to make escape velocity would disintegrate anyone standing off to the sides. My ball has to orbit the Earth a couple times before it comes back down on the fairway 5 feet in front of me and rolls the rest of the way to the green. Its a pretty tricky shot but I've got it down to were I can hole out 50% of the holes on the course.
