He did blame the wind on the fact that he only hit it 195 yards - now that's what I call a lag put!!!!!

Same from me - what an excellent day and experience. Nicola from Callaway looked after us very well.
Made the shoot out and can only confirm the input from the others just how nerve racking it was! Sympathies to HarryMonk - I know just how much I was focused just on getting the ball off the tee....................

What a fantastic day and fantastic set up. Well done Golf Monthly and well done to Callaway. Everyone and everything was brilliant! Shame about the wind but still a great day. #Kingsofdistance

As I took your place in the final Sam we really had little chance. Big Steve would have had to biff it about 350 yards to be in with any chance and into a left right crosswind about 50 mph that just wasn't going to happen
It was all pretty identical to last year but great fun nevertheless

Glad you all had a good time!
I'd be very suprised if they didnt have trackman set to 'normalise' otherwise some of the distances quoted on twitter would have been a lie.
Someone put that his driver had been increased to 301yds with a 104mph swing! no chance mate, no chance.

No shame, it would've been great for the green (debatable colour if you ask me) team to get new drivers! It was a fantastic day and my highlights were Denis Pugh and Joe Miller!
Curse you slightly not so dark blue team! Enjoy your new drivers!

Ah! Tweeking Trackman - what an outrageous accusation. The team that won must have had some serious hitters in their ranks as the 1st and 4th longest were chosen, so their 2nd and 3rd must have been some big boomers too!

Trackman can be normalised 100% we've done it with my coach a number of times as the range balls etc are rubbish
I'd have felt bad winning another driver anyway

Yep, they call it closed data.

The 2 players represented their team of about 10. The team who's 2 players recorded the longest combined hits won their whole team a new driver

Yep, their No. 4 guy tonked it 296yds
Not at all bitter, despite being a member of the 'Red cap' team who had one hand on those new drivers
