290 with a 3 wood. With a driver, probably 285 or so. On the launch monitor it was 355. I think it must've been a fluke because the swing speed said 135. My 3 wood swing speed is around 110. With a driver I'd be lucky to break 112.

New personal best drive 310meters with a 5iron The driving range wascovered with ice. I had no idea that an old Dunlop-iron would go that far. AND the ball heavier then lead!

Laws of golf :
LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

365 downwind with the driver. I got two bounces off the cart path and then it rolled down a hill right into the middle of the layup area on a par 5.

FortAsel, those goals make you scarier to me at 10 handicap than a ho-hum scratch golfer. Good luck on them.

(around 20yards short of being contender for worlds) i know this as i have hit with top 8 finishers at mesquite.

I've hit a few lucky bombs (usually with help from wind/hills), but I have a distinct favorite.

We were playing in Vegas while on a bachelor's party. One of the guys in our group was probably the biggest jerk I've ever met in my life - he was hitting on my gf throughout the round and generally being loud and obnoxious... if it wasn't for the combination of not wanting to ruin the party and the fact that my gf was making a fool out of him on her own, there would have been violence after the first couple holes.

Anyway, on this 340 yard dogleg left (downhill, with the wind), he kept saying he was going to hit the green, and asking my gf if he could do inappropriate things to celebrate (to which she responded with a litany of things she would rather do before letting him touch her, haha). He hits his shot, and he did crush it, but he ended up about 20 yards short in some light rough. I went after him, and it rolled right up onto the front of the green (totally on accident, but shhhh... haha). I winked at him as I was walking to the cart... the look on his face was great.

The bachelor's brother actually ended up beating the crap out of this guy later that night, for getting physically inappropriate with his wife... good times.
