Yeah, Nick Faldo mention it on (I think) Friday.  The long drive of the day (not carry, total) was 313 up to that point, and the average (again, total) was 275 or so.

There was little to no wind, and as you can see, it's a flat hole.

I did see one guy on the weekend hit one 326 or so, and I think they may have even mentioned that that was the longest (or certainly one of the longest) of the weekend.

EDIT:  Speaking of ProTracer, I really liked the little feature they added (I hadn't seen it before) where after each pairing hit they put the prottracers back up simultaneously for comparison.

Almost like that shot they show (all graphics) of the European Tour players and their resulting ball positions with an overhead fly-by-style view of the hole.

I like those.

I love those.  I wish the American networks would do this.  It gives you a great perspective.

    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
    • Let's kick off the 2026 Masters talk with… a look back at 2025 (coming soon):
    • Wow, so Europe named Luke for a third term. Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Who will the U.S. name? I hope not Tiger Woods.
    • I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
