Driver challenge. Give me your cash.

Lump I am half way between york and leeds. And if there is any television rights I want them. As hovis says, bombing a ball is man stuff and as a man who wants other man stuff, mainly a car with a v10 or V12 engine then I want the cash. I also don't want Kirs akabusi. Can we push the boat out and get timmy mallet. Seems more apt in this case.

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. As mentioned by various on here its the score card that matters and with a short game like mine well... you never know it might improve or get back to what it was over the coming weeks. time will tell along with a lot of practice.


I am really looking forward to this. Meet some people, prove a point and get a nice game of golf in at a club that I might never had played. Sorted. PM your details chaps and I will PM you my mobile.

Cheers

Straight as well! There we have it. That would lead the all-round driving stats on the PGA tour.

Steve I admire your confidence. I really hope you can do it... that would make my year. Come on my son! :thup:
 
Make sure you post details of the time and venue etc, im sure some others might want to go along to cheer them off the first !
 
Steve

I hope your wizards sleeve is large so you can hide inside if this goes tits up lol

How have you been quantifying your distance, by eye or digital device?

I am tempted....in fact I am at Elland Road on Saturday,how about I ask the club if you can be the half time entertainment?

Sorry,I forgot that the pitch wouldn't even do for your 3/4 wedge and besides the crowd will have had enough of clowns on the pitch by half time.:rofl:
 
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.

A little, I must admit! usually up for a bit of fun with some cash on the line.

Have been getting on well with my driver since I got it and finally got a modern 3 wood which goes 'nice'.

Some might even say 'miles'!:)

Maybe in the summer with the chance of a game or two involved it might be worth a trip but the opportunity of a several hour drive to stand in a cold driving range then back home isn't appealing right now!
 
Im on "Team Steve"... Come on Stevey boy, shove it up em....

Disclaimer... If Steve does not in fact "shove it up em", I reserve the right to withdraw my support and join in the months of mocking that will undoubtedly follow...
 
Um.... What a nob. Hope this does not last as long as it did last time.
 
I thought we'd got rid of them all.....

300+ yards with a fade ?

come on guy's give him a break. he is saying he can prove it. so let's at least give him the chance to try before we slate him, and steve, i hope you can do it mate because if you can't your gonna look like a right tool.

as far as ''its what your score card says that matters'' thats what old people and short hitters say. i've never stood on a tee and heard someone say ''watch this guy..........he hits it really straight'' bombing a ball feels great, its a man thing. bombing a driver, watching star wars, getting aroused by the noise of an v10 engine and scatching your balls all comes under the umberella of ''MAN STUFF''

2 things , 1 .. as i said earlier i dont disbelieve him , i just dont care , i aint important to me ,
2 At 42 im not that old i hope , i hit my driver a decent way , can on my day drive our 310 yard par 4 12th , get close to geen most times so say 275/280 , my 3 iron is about 220 so wouldnt be classed as a short hitter & i will tell you if you are a competitive golfer what your score card says IS all that matters , that & the number in the handicap box .. so heres an idea someone that knows how should throw up a poll , distance off the tee v score you sign for , which is the most important . see what result is ..

Posted this on the Original thread in the for sale section under Ping G20...............

I think you need to go into the settings menu on your Skycaddie and change the distance settings from Feet to Yards.

Btw, Im flying down to Cambridge tommorow. Ill look out the window for Steve's ball whistling past the Aircraft on my way over Yorkshire.​

Im of the same thinking.
I play off 8, and DO NOT hit it 300yds+
But Im happy at my standard of play, I can compete at this handicap, and play socially without the fear of embarrassment, at my shots or my score

But, I DO have a friend, at my club, plays off 16 h/cap , and he CAN really BOMB it
He went to Taylormade R11 Demo day last summer and was notching figures of 318yds, 326yds, was fitted for R11 TP 9.5 X - Flex Fuji Blur 65TP
Problem is, he cant hit more than 2 fairways at best on the course.
Demo days, Launch monitors, his Figures are Crazy
On a tee box, tree lined fairway (like my course).........no chance
After several months of agony, he has now ditched the driver, and tees it up with a 3 wood, still outdriving most of our group, including team players, but best of all he is hitting 3-4 times more fairways.
NEXT PROBLEM......he carries 4 wedges but cant use any of them
So....Drive for show.......just bout sums him up
