So I had my longest drive yesterday.. Wasn't pretty, but suprised the hell outta me.
#2 hole, 364 yard - Par 4.. Sorta dog leg left. I hit my drive, and just CRUSHED it. I'm normally 240-255 I'd guess when I hit it flush.
My ball kinda got pushed a little right, and stayed straight into the heavy wind. Ended up carrying JUST to the top of a high lipped fairway bunker, and glanced off the top of the bunker and just shot off the top like a bullet.
I hit a provisional, as I didn't know if I'd find the ball near the cart path and the woods on the right.
As we got to our balls, I noticed a ball JUST off the green, sitting perfectly in the middle, with the pin up front. Guy I was with had gps, and we figured the drive was around 335 or so.. Couldn't figure out what the ball hit, or if it rode the cart path, or something, but the ball wasn't gashed up. Granted it wasn't all me, but I figure I might have gotten it close to 270 or more to the bunker, and then whatever it hit to rocket off the lip.
Ended up chipping it up with the 56* within a foot, and tapped in for a birdie.
I was riding off that hole for quite a while and ended up shooting decent, considering it was wet as hell out there, bunkers full of water in some holes, 15-30mph winds, and a course I've never played before.
