Driver challenge. Give me your cash.

Hi Steve,

I admire your courage! :thup:

I am in Yorkshire quite often (Sheffield born and bred) as my poor family still live in the godforsaken provincial backwater. :o :D

I will quite happily bet that I can outdrive you. Cash to go to who hits the longest drive down the fairway of the 1st hole of your club. Me or you. Your honour of course....

Yours in sport,



Snelly.

As for what this proves, well nothing at the end of the day except I can hit a straight long drive 99.9% of the time.

I think it's about time to negotiate the ground rules for this challenge. 300+ is a given, but how many times in the round i.e. probably 14 holes to count excluding the likely 4 par 3s (unless there are any par 4s of less than 325 yards - that could be dangerous). Straight long drives 99.9% of the time suggests up to 13 holes of 300+ or should there be some leeway. Can we set a target figure?

 
Well half way between York and Leeds is the A64? Not far from me being in Seacroft ;) I would love to see you drive 300+ yards, Lump is a big hitter and I have seen this first hand several times so I would love to him out drive you ;) What is your home club? Come to South Leeds :D
 
my mate who I play with off 9 hit plenty of 340+ drives in the summer and 300+ in winter, hell he even hit a 3 wood nigh on 300 in the summer. He is skinny as a rake, 5ft 9 but boy does he leather it. He also hits plenty of slices and hooks inbetween hence he has changed to a higher lofted driver for accuracy over length. I have no doubt you can hit that far but I reckon it comes at a cost of accuracy

Sadly some of us have been busy keeping Irish nurses happy so I've missed all the fun and games. Personally I rank this in the same category as Timmy as pants and I'm with Dodger on this.

Funnily enough Steve has failed to answer several key questions. Where does he play, what does he play off and what constitutes hitting 300+ yards regularly. Are we calling straight within the width of the fairway or as I expect within the same post code.

Apart from the utter arrogance of the guy, what a crap bet. If you aren't prepared to match the bet Steve then I can't see many people putting up the cash to take you on. If you call people out then you have to pay the price for failing. I don't know what this so called reputation you have at your club is (although I suspect it isn't the same one the members actually have of you) but its hardly the end of the world to put that on the line.

I'm sorry but I'm out as they say. Nothing more than a nothing willy waver who thinks he can talk the talk and walk the walk despite being better than the majority of tour pros. We all know what happened to Timmy when he stepped up to the plate at a meet. It wasn't pretty although bloody funny for the 99.9% of us watching the clip

Steve I'm afraind you're not going to win many friends or challengers with your machismo attitude. I admire your dogmatic approach that you can't possibly fail but we all know what comes before a fall.

Let me ask you one more question. How often are you hitting 300+ drives at the moment and on what type of hole. Is it a hard running links course, on a downhill hole or a run of the mill straight away parkland hole. How are you measuring these drives

Having seen some of the real long hitters on here like Swinger, Pieman etc then I know its a no contest.

I love Homers straight talking!! :) I am more than quite happy to meet you and video your fail when you don't drive 300 yds down fairway. I am not a big hitter but I would put money on Lump beating you :D
 
I like the way everybody says they couldn't care less how far Steve hits it yet this thread has had 115 posts inside 10 hours.


I'd love to see Steve show up and be videoed proving he can hit it 300+ regularly, but somehow I can't see it happening as I doubt he'll show up. The "Dunlop driver to regualr shaft 300 yard hitter" is just too suspicious.

As for the accuracy, "99.9% of the time" means 999 out of 1,000 are straight, I doubt even Ping's test machine is that good.
