Captains' Drive In - where do people think I hit it?

[Bratty]

Had the Drive-In yesterday, and some on the fourm have commented on where I was likely to put the drive.

I really wasn't that nervous about the tee-shot. Who cares if I top it, slice it, fat it, etc. It's a bit of fun, after all.

So, stood on the mat tee some 15 yards back from plates on 18th at Westerham with the Head Pro, the pro I have lessons with, the outgoing captains and new lady captain.

Sunny day, downhill with a wind behind. How far and where did I hit it?

Answers on a postcard, please!

290 down the middle?

You started by saying you were not that bothered so I am thinking it went well...

 

[Birchy]

I will go for Driver skids off the mat under the ball and you skied 500 yards in the air but about 100 forward

What do i win?

 

[CMAC]

230 down the middle

 

[Liverbirdie]

Driving range tractors exhaust pipe?

 

[bigslice]

after the air shot it went 250 yards down the middle

 

[Whee]

260 - missed fairway right, at a guess?

 

[One Planer]

Air shot?

 

[triple_bogey]

Wafted it inches off the tee.

 

[duncan mackie]

the lake - can't miss it with a driver on that hole......

 

[JustOne]

Isn't that tee shot down a narrow chute of trees?

I'm going to go with LAKE, or hit a TREE and nearly killed the pro on the rebound :thup:

Some lovely answers there (and some not so lovely! ), and one of you was so close to being right.

No, I'm not a bragger, but I did want to disappoint some folk so:

260 yards, on the right-hand side of the fairway (sorry Whee), in pretty much a perfect spot.

I wish I'd hit Birchy's example though. That would have been hilarious!

James, the hole you're thinking of is the par 3 11th (where I came about an inch from a hole-in-one and certain bankruptcy yesterday! )
