It was only a matter of time before the Champions Tour would have multiple players averaging 300 yards on their drives, but I am surprised it hasn’t happened sooner.
Oh, that’s right – it would have happened years ago, if the players back then had what the current players have, so we all know that Golf Digest is just trying to hype the stats, because hype’s all it is.
A simple glance at some stats is all it takes to confirm this.
This swing apparently produced a 367 yard drive, but a grain of salt warning, it was on a Scottish links course (the King’s Course at Gleneagles in Scotland) and we know how the ball runs half the distance of the total drive (joking, but close) … but anyway…
Padraig Harrington is the swinger in question here, and by the PGA Champions Tour caption, they apparently think his footwork is to be admired (we know they wouldn’t insult a player in their feature Tweets, so we have to assume a positive tone here).
