Getting on for 400 yards.

But that was on a bone dry course...the course being Kashmir Golf Club, which is at serious altitude. Happy Gilmore stuff!

What are you lot like! :)

I genuinely can't remember my longest drive. I can remember my longest 5 iron though. Playing at a place called Kings Norton in B'ham I wanted to lay up on a hole. 219 to the bunker. Pulled out my 3 iron, swapped it to a 4, thought the whole thing through and went down to a 5...then felt safe enough.
Not to be. It landed at it's normal distance and just motored on and on before coming to rest in the bunker. Darn it. :)

My drives are annoying it either goes a decent length then I 3 putt or do something else that is stupid or I cock it up but then do a great approach shot. Oh well the joys of golfing.

I think I've hit a few close to 300, (warm day, hard fairway), and the other day I hit a cracker right down the middle, switched on my mobile PDA with GPS and, before it had locked onto any satellites, I paced it out. Measured at 240 metres, so I figure that was perhaps 270+.

Usually sub 230 and off the fairway though.

Ouch. Did you miss the green, chip on and 3 putt or does it get worse? :) :rolleyes:

Well....the pin was just over the bunker on the left and i put it in the bunker and thanks to a plugged lie i took 2 to get out and then an easy 2 putt from about 15ft. ;)
