      It would surprise me if all these guys did was just drive the ball and never play golf, even recreationally.
      They could have been golfers first who then realised they had a gift for driving the ball. He could still be above average around a course.

      @@notmenotme614 Quite a few of the long drive competitors actually play. Kyle, the reigning champ played in college and is a scratch golfer. The issue with hitting ball a mile is that it gets hard to control the landing point on courses that require positioning which is why you won't see many compete on tours.

    The par 4 18th at the club I grew up at was similar (MacGregor Downs). You had to go over water either way, but there was the short way or the long way. Back in 1973 they held the U.S. Professional Matchplay Championship along with the Ligget & Myers Open stroke play tournament at MacGregor Downs (I was 12 and had just started playing golf one year earlier). The top 8 leaders on the money list were exempt into the matchplay tournament and the top 8 on the leaderboard after 2 days of the Ligget & Myers Open got the other 8 open spots. The stroke play tournament continued on Sat & Sun concurrently with the matchplay tournament. I remember following Jack Nicklaus during a practice round and his caddie Angelo Argea told him he didn't think Jack could carry it long enough to go the long way (it's about a 280 carry which was pretty far in 1973). Jack teed it up and cleared the water by about 10 yards on his first try.
    Flyover of the 18th at MacGregor Downs: ruclips.net/video/a6uhcSLNOwg/видео.html
    The flyover doesn't start back at the men's regular tee or the championship tees. They are elevated and much further back than where the drone started in this video. The men's tee is about a 250 carry and the championship tee is about a 280 carry. If you hit it left or right by about 10 yards of where you are aiming the carry gets significantly longer, so it takes accuracy as well as distance.

    She sheer speed and power of his swing is incredible. At the bottom of his swing his left foot is off the ground with all of his weight on the back foot. His hip turn on the down swing is very quick and powerful. Hypothetically, and magically if I swung one time as fast and powerful as him , relative to my normal swing speed and power, it's possible that I would have torn ligaments and a thrown hip.
