The most amazing thing I've seen.....

on a golf course..........
I was playing last week at my home course with this big kid (prolly 24 or 25, about 6'4" maybe 240) from Montana.......
we get to this hole......
and he hits a drive like I've never seen before........started it out to the right over the group of trees on the right hand side with a draw.....when I say he hit it, it sounded like a cannon when he made contact.......
now understand that I'd already played 16 holes with this kid and there was no hint that he possessed the kind of power he displayed on this hole.......
from the tees we were playing from, the hole measures 514 yards.........when we arrived at his ball, he was exactly 103 yards from the green.......doing simple mathematics, this equates to a drive of 411 yards!!!!! Like I say, I've never seen a ball hit like that......
nice thing about it, he flips a sandwedge to about 12 feet and cans the eagle putt........
it's the longest drive I've ever seen hit........and that includes 2 long drive tournaments I've been to....there was no wind......
not too many things amaze me on a golf course anymore, but this definitely had the WOW factor........
