This was the only book I would buy in the scholastic book fairs

[MeepMeep]

For those wondering, the distance the ball went was 542ft and the longest distance in golf competition is 1548.5ft

I can't even hit my god damn 4-iron straight

[SouthOCmixdown]

That thing isn't a golf club.

It's a buggy whip for a dinosaur.

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

This man has elite hand-eye co-ordination and a great back.

[Golfholics]

Jeez!! that golf club is ridiculously long!

[davestang]

Fun record! Good for you. A practical world record attempt which can be attempted by anyone with normal equipment could be something like this: From 100 yards hit as many shots within 10 feet of the pin as you can in 60 seconds. You can measure out a 20 foot-radius circle with chalk or tape. It is the final resting position of every ball inside the circle that counts. The real difficulty of this exercise is that you have no time to follow the flight of the ball.You must trust your instincts that your swing is correct and immediately move to the next ball. You can also try this for 120 seconds or 180 seconds.

when this guy hit the ball I was like yeeet 😂😂😂I can't stop laughing😂😂😂😂my stomach hurts

[terry]

I saw this on Outrageous Acts of Science
I am curious what the velocity of the club head at moment of impact and the actual velocity of the projectile [golf ball] moments after the club head striking golf ball

[FredCDobbs-erqd]

I was just out on my practice area and I wondered if I would gain or lose clubhead speed with a shorter than normal shaft So I stumbled onto your video which was the opposite but I found it enjoyable and interesting. Thanks!

Me: Pass me the 9" Iron
Him: I'll take the 35" iron

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

What's more amazing is the record implies that some people have bigger golf clubs than that which serve no useful function.

[campbellrocksagain]

very good but how far does the ball go? does it cut down the shots taken?

[UnusualTastes]

This is what Sephiroth takes when he wants to play a few holes.

[LWYRUP]

1. How does he get it in the car?
2. How can you practice at the range?
3. That is one awesome driver

[Whitetrashweldr]

Is it legal to swing from one time zone into another?

[dallasmarley]

I'm taking 28' (2 club lengths) for my next drop.

[BidiOVidi]

He's listed next to Ron Jeremy under the "Longest Club" section.
