Just came back from a weekend away with Smiffy at Gainsborough, I had the misfortune to play 18 with JustOne, Christ does he hit a decent ball|? Standing on the 4th tee (Karsten Course) 440yds to the centre of th green, James swishes once then unleashes a monster, his next as 80yards from the centre.

I make that 360 yards.

I'm sure he has said he only bashes them out at around 240 but fair play with a smack like that :thup:

His head will be humongous after he sees this thread. A fellow forum member bigging up someone's driving distance is a rare occurrence.

Bear in mind 90% of what he posts is testicles.

James has it in him to hit it huge.

Trouble is, he is like bubba, it could go any where, and often does.

He can collar them every now and then. Trouble is, he is tinkering at the moment so never knows exactly where the ball is going to go!
All joking aside though, when he does get it all together he is one of the biggest hitters I know.
Along with Cameron (CaptRon). Jeez does he hit a ball. 220 yards and he's hitting a 6 iron!!

i hit a 370 yard shoot the other day, terrible strike but the fairways are rock solid and it rolled and kept rolling. You can not judge driving distance on rock solid fairways at all

There is so much roll i have decided to not use the driver off the tee as its getting me into trouble so im using the 20 degree hybrid instead /QUOTE]

With a fade!!! :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:


I don't hit it a long way.... Captain Ron does!!! The man's a beast!

I'm a standard 265-275 hitter, maybe a bit more when I can actually find the bloody sweetspot. Out of 72 holes I hit 4 tee shots that I was happy with.

My most enjoyable drive of the trip was a 295yrd fade on the 72nd hole to set up an easy birdie chance..... which (not surprisingly) I missed :angry:

Still thanks for mentioning it mate, it was a peachy drive down that 4th hole :thup:
