Long drive
Long drive is a competitive sport where success is derived by hitting a golf ball the farthest by driving. A small but dedicated talent base of golfers populate the world of Long-Drive, with the top talent competing professionally in various events and exhibitions.
==Distance==
Professional long drivers can average over 350 yards (320 m) in competition,〔(Re/Max World Long Drive Championships 2011, Rounds 8-13 ) Long Drivers of America, Retrieved 13 July 2012〕 compared with 300 yard (274 m) averages from the top PGA Tour drivers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PGA Tour Driving Distance )〕 and 200 yards (183 m) for an average amateur. Some shots in competitions surpass 400 yards (366 m).〔(Re/Max World Long Drive Championships 2011, Finals ) Long Drivers of America, Retrieved 13 July 2012〕 The world record recognized by Guinness Records as the longest drive in a competition is by 64-year-old Mike Austin in 1974 at the US Senior National Open Qualifier with a 43.5" steel shafted persimmon wood driver.〔Hudson, Alex (10 December 2010) (Why has the longest golf drive record not been broken? ) BBC Click, Retrieved 8 December 2011〕 The record distance achieved in The RE/MAX European Long Drive Championship is 473 yards (433m) by Allen Doyle in September 2005.〔(Grobbelaar, Nico - Records Smashed! (3 September 2012) )〕 The record distance achieved in The RE/MAX South African Long Drive Championship is 506 yards (462.9m) by Nico Grobbelaar in September 2012. Fast swingers can swing their club heads at over 150 mph (245 km/h), well beyond the 85 mph (140 km/h) average for an amateur. They train for strength, flexibility, and speed and often perform corporate exhibitions for money, exhibiting a variety of trick shots. Ball speeds are nearly double that of an average golfer (220 mph).
There are several well-known names in long drive. Jason Zuback is perhaps the most famous, being one of three people to win multiple RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships, with four consecutive wins from 1996–99 and a win in 2006. Sean "The Beast" Fister is another, winning in 1995, 2001, and 2005. Jamie Sadlowski had back to back wins in 2008–09. Art Sellinger, a two-time national champion, is currently the owner of the Long Drivers of America organization.
