Longest Hitter in Golf History

[PChandler]

Thats sounds like me. Except for the 400 yard part. And in the fairway.

All 3 are listed as scratch on the Pinnacle website. Take that for whatever it's worth, though.

I met Zuback a few years ago when the Telus skins game was in whistler, he was hitting 5 irons off a tee box about 20 yards ahead of where they actually played from, and his 5 irons were carrying the bunker stephen ames hit a driver into

I can see the appeal, certainly. Especially in this generation. But I'll be interested when someone can hit it 400 yds and in that grid 9 out of 10 times. I'd rather watch Nick Price hit 6 irons to the same little quadrant of a practice green 180 yds away 7 days a week over some freak show. I watched Pfister do a clinic. Am I the only one that thinks that 300 in the air doesn't look that much different than 350 in the air? So what's so fun about watching it?

I agree Kevin.

At the Colonial Invitational this year (saw phil's wedge shot)

me my dad and my brother followed Bubba Watson and Justin Leonard.

On one par 4 Justin hit a perfectly straight driver right down the middle.

Bubba pulled out a 2 iron and hit a beautiful shot that started out extremely

low to the ground and soared upwards but it still didn't get very high up.

Went past Leonards ball 10 yards. With a 2 IRON!

Bubba hit a fat wedge in the water.

Justin hit a low draw 9 iron to 12 feet.

Bubba pulled out his driver next hole and I was about to pee myself.

Wasn't what I expected. Looked like a normal drive. High draw.

I got more enjoyment watching Corey Pavin shape shots on the range than

Bubba letting the big dog eat.

You make a good point.........

Dynamicism is part of the whole deal but in the end control and repeatability (ideally with power) make up The Holy Grail.

There's probably more to learn studying the great ballstrikers than the big bombers.

(for those of us concerned with scoring)
