Hit Golf Ball Farther

hydle — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 08:51:40 +0000

Here I present to you the reader (presumably a golfer) five completely simple steps on how to learn how to hit a golf ball harder, farther and longer:

Take a tour through Two Time RE/MAX World Long Drive Champion Jamie Sadlowski’s golf swing.
Buy an Adams 9064LD Speedline and then…
Learn how to hit a golf ball 400 yards… and finally,
Give up bowling.
Good luck.

Golf Digest – 60 Stories in 60 Days

hydle — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:27:35 +0000

Beginning April 1st, Max Adler, Associate Editor of Golf Digest is taking a 60 day golfing road trip in celebration of the magazines 60 years in publication.

What interests me about Max’s adventure is how he is going to pay it back to some of Golf Digest’s real fans and supporters over the years … and his #1 and #2 example stops both revolve around Long Drive (and luck).

1. LONGEST HOLE-IN-ONE DENVER
Michael Crean aced the 517-yard, par-5 ninth at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in 2002.

2. LONG-DRIVE PROVING GROUND / LITTLE ROCK
Long Drive champ Sean (The Beast) Fister poses the same challenge to any upstarts who think they can make it in pro long drive: Carry the Arkansas River from the lawn of the Clinton Presidential Library & Museum. (It’s 360 yards.)

Maybe I will try and document a couple of his 60 stops throughout the nation. They sound like good stories… why wouldn’t you want them on video?

Long Drive Training Begins

hydle — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:08:58 +0000

March 1st, 2010 – Training for season 2 of long drive begins.

Long Drivers of America (LDA) local qualifiers are popping up all over with the first major event coming up March 25-27th in Mesquite, Nevada. The 2010 Diamond in the Desert Classic requires zero pre-registration and will consist of 2 days of open qualifying to create a competitive field for Saturdays Desert Classic final.

New to the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship sponsorship team this year is Dick’s Sporting Goods and the Slazenger RAW Extreme Distance golf ball. I don’t know what happened to Pinnacle as the official golf ball of the LDA – maybe it just wasn’t extreme enough. Personally – I’m a fan of aggressive.

So if your bored of the snow… lets go hang with the Mesquitos and start swinging.

Last night I was having a beer with Jason Zuback and our conversation hit the topic of what is the fastest ball in sport? Golf or Hi Li?

Luckily he had the answer.
