All you guys driving the ball 400+ yards should seriously consider taking your life in the direction of long drive contests... cuz with a little practice you might be gg if your really hitting the ball that far.. consistently.. lol I dont believe that your hitting a ball that far but w/e

I hit my drives about 295-310 with no wind or downslope. thats just average driving range numbers. Driving the ball over 400 yards.. cmon guys s/s or it didnt happen, you must be carrying the ball like 380 Yards....... Tiger Woods can't even do that. Bubba Watson Could probably BARELY do that one a good day..

HAPPY GILMORE COULD BARELY DRIVE THE BALL 400 YArds. LAST year the long drive contest winning drive was 424 yards by Jamie Sadlowski. No to mention he is using a driver that is about a foot longer then any driver you've probably ever seen, and about the stiffest shaft you can buy, And he's devoted his whole life to being to hit the ball 400+ yards? And your trying to tell me some JSP scrub can do it with ease..

I was talking about my longest recorded drive ever, and it was downhill and downwind.

I can believe that on certain occasions and hole that good golfers are able to hit the ball 400 yards. I've seen pictures on holes on the tour that you have to carry the ball about 250-260 and then it lands on a severer downslope you can prolly get about 100yards of run.. at the pga grandslam that keegan bradley won, rory mcliroy hit a 414 yarder but it was down wind and probably the most sloped hole i've ever seen, some holes are built to make your ball run. Still, if you drove a green over 400 yards away, thats really impressive no matter what conditions...I've never even heard of a par 4 that long and meant to be drove, usually a drivable par 4 on the pga tour is about 350 yards and the players usually have to run the ball up to the green for a chance a Eagle , and only a few can manage to do this. I think my longest is about 350ish with downwind and a downslope, on a 580 yard par 5, and I hit the ball a long ways..and have been playing golf my whole life.

But the first guy saying he hits it over 400 on flat ground w/ no wind is just bullshit. There arent many golf courses with driving ranges that go to 350 yards, so there would be no way to really know how far your hitting it EVEN if you can somehow get it past the 350 markers consistently, which only long driving pros can do that..consistently

I'm sure they're are a few fat/strong people out there who just whallop the ball, and can drive the ball 350, but I highly doubt most of them can hit it straight or with a draw to gain more distance.

Just a little FYI for you guys.
The length of some of these PGA tour players is sometimes severely skewed.

We have a Nationwide event at the course I work at and of course we dry it out a bit and speed up the entire course. I get to play the course in those conditions once before and once after and just as a general figure.... My drives end up a good 30-40 yards further down the fairway. I might get a little extra run anyway just because I have a lowish ball flight but there is a huge difference in the conditions they play.

this is very true, the PGA Tour fairways are cut shorter than a typical public/private course set up for daily play and dryer like you said.

I drive anywhere from 280-295 average. I don't play enough to practice although I used to work at a golf course.
