Jolly good for an 8 iron old chap. :whoo:
Longest I would say is about 380 yards but the conditions were good at the the time with a sloping fairway and hitting from a elevated tee helped it along, average yardage 285.

^^^ What he said especially the bit in bold...
If we're talking longest drives Hameln in Germany to Lydd on the Kent coast not to bad a journey normally but when its in an M3 rig and your stuck in traffic for 7 hours it becomes mind numbinlgy long and dull! In the end it took just shy of 15hours!

Woking to Lake Garda - about 22 hours non stop (three taking turns) towing a 24 foot racing yacht. The Milan ring road in rush hour was probably my scariest ever time behind the wheel.
PS You get some VERY strange looks driving through alpine ski resorts with a yacht on the back!

When I was in the army I shared a room with a Royal Corps of Transport driver. He was 6'5" tall and had to have his army bed especially made for him. When he layed down to sleep I think he was the longest driver we had.

My house to the M25. It's half a mile odd, 4 and a half hours. Peachy.

My longest ever is about 300 yards but taking into consideration that the fairways were hard, slightly elevated tee, it was a tail wind and I hit a surprisingly straight shot. I wouldn't trust a carry of anything in excess of 200 yards though.

My longest driver worked for us for years, maybe 10 easy. He delivered for the local chinese at the weekend.
A good driver that one.
