Longest Green You've Driven

[powerfade]

Since we're talking about longest drives...tell us about the longest green you've ever driven!

Did you eagle, birdie, par, or (gulp) do worse?

Mine was 2 months ago. I estimated with carry and a little roll, about 297. It was a Par 4 dogleg right, blind to an undulating green. Skycaddy showed 301 to the center. I landed a few feet short of a front pin, it released and stopped about 15 feet past the hole. It left me an ultra fast downhiller that I got too greedy with and ran it by...3 putt par

The shape of the ball mark, and the ball were in a direct line through the pin . I'm guessing I missed an ace , or hitting the stick, by less than an inch. Ah, what coulda been!

haven't driven a green... i've driven OVER a 265yd green without even touching it or the back bank.


didnt bother playing out the hole, OB about 15yds behind the green and didn't wanna play it.

I have driven it OVER a 345 yard par-4 multiple times.

I always seem to just RIP the ball on that hole.

Par 4, 270ish uphill to a 2 - tier green. Four putted to bogey ville!

I drove a 286yd par 4 green with my 3 wood the other day, but it was barely on the green. I three putted for par.....

Par 4 270 just landed it smack centre, 2-putt birdie.

At my home course, the shortest par 4 is 356 metres (about 380 yards), so i've never driven a par 4...

We have one of those locally. I think ours is 325 yards. I have yet to put it on the green but have put one in the bunker on each side. So I guess I shouldn't be posting this since I technically did not drive the green :)

Longest drive on a green = 331yds. Missed eagle put though.

270 yards with driver. Only marginally missed out on a hole in one... 310 yards (REALLY DRY conditions) with 3 wood into the fringe. Birdies in both cases.

[mjones]

actually stayed...not over, beside, etc. 247 with a 4 wood. birdie

[philipy]

If the yardage markers were correct, I landed a ball 20 yards passed a 300 yard par 4.

Ive played a joke course where some holes were 255 yards long, That day i drove 3 greens. the greens were a joke So i only made par i think. They were like sponge and you had to hammer the ball to get there.

At my home course Ive come short 5 yards of a 325 yard green. I chiped and come inches from eagle. I got my birdie.

180 yard par 3. Sorry my tale doesn't live up, but the only greens I could possibly reach, I never hit driver so, my story ends here.

Same story here. 200 yards five wood. Never have hit a driver into a green.

351 yards, #8 at Fox Run. Downhill after 250 or so, which means I probably earned only about 300 yards, but got away with more anyway. Two-putted for birdie.

I won't forget it for a while because it was with a Rock-Flite, not a good ball. I'm starting to think more and more the ball is just a miniature difference.

325yds last week lake tahoe slight dogleg rt, cut the corner..
2 putt for a birdie....

You are mistaken if you think the ball is a miniature difference. Good shot though.
