Golf Long Driving Championship

[frankdracman23]

Saw this recently and it is a hoot.

 

Guys try to drive the ball the longest.

 

The format for the finals was two semi-finals where one guy faces off with another. They have 2:45 seconds to hit as many drives as they want but the drive has to land in the "fairway" which is basically painted like a football field with yard markers and is 60 yards wide.

 

These guys hit it a ton but rarely get one to stay in the "fairway". In the semis one guy never had a ball that qualified.

 

When they do get one in the fairway it is usually 380-410 yards long. It is the ones that go 200 yards out of bounds that crack me up. And as you might expect these guys are muscled-up big boys.

 

And the guy that was out-driven gets just one last-chance ball to try and win. So that is pretty exciting.

 

Winner got $150,000

I normally watch that if I catch it on. I keep expecting to see one of the guys start his driver like a chain saw one of these days.
