I saw the highlight today, as he’s walking up the fairway, he says “ caught it a little thin, left it short”. He might be my new favorite golfer just based on that Hahahaha.

    My SIL once drove a 300yd par 4 that had a slight dog-leg left. It was his first time on that course. We could not see the shot result due to the dog leg, but I knew it was going to be good. We found his ball about 3 inches from the cup for a nice tap-in eagle. That was fun to watch. I told my daughter that if she ever broke up with him, I was keeping him. 😎

    The 12th at Kapalua has always been drivable by the longer hitters, depending on the wind. The hole plays about 50-60 yards shorter on a calm day, given the topography of the hole. Add a helping wind and it plays more like 350-360 yards. Which nevertheless is impressive, mind you...

    Bubba's shot on his 2nd shot @ 18, with his second shot with driver off the deck from 305 yards, leading to eagle back in 2011 was a wee bit more impressive imo.

    Yes, these guys are good. Especially if they have the luxury of a 6-7 shot lead and don't have to fret over a perchance bogey if their aggressiveness is penalized.

      DC300 I saw the highlight today, as he’s walking up the fairway, he says “ caught it a little thin, left it short”.

      I was watching and I think when he picked up his tee he said, "That's good." Ya' think?😛

        PA-PLAYA ubba's shot on his 2nd shot @ 18, with his second shot with driver off the deck from 305 yards, leading to eagle back in 2011 was a wee bit more impressive imo.

        That is one of my fav shots of all time. ☺

          Well,

          Pause (old Jack Benny routine)
          I really miss seeing my ball roll into a green on a 440 yd parr 5 second shot and I can't hit my driver off the deck too good...yet...
          Distance is the second thing to go with aging.
          😜

          I hit a drive on #18 today that went 302 yards. The fact that we had a 20 plus mph wind behind us and it hit the cart path may have had a little to do with it also. Longest drive I've ever had on that hole or any other hole for that matter. Not bad for a 90 mph swing speed.

          It was 362 yards and I had 60 yards to the middle of the green. Of course I nutted my 60 degree wedge that flew the green and proceeded to get a bogey 5. 🙁

            They should start playing a soulful violin melody for us when we do this .
            Like the one played for calling the monster in "Young Frankenstein".
            If so, I'd hear a lot of them .
