I posted back in February about Aldrich Potgieter after he had set the golf world afire in reaching a 660 yard par 5 hole in two.
I had said at the time that it shouldn’t be that incredible with his youth, size and strength and the equipment they use today.
I still don’t see, looking at him without a chart to measure his height, how he is listed at 5’11” and 87 kg (191 lbs), but whatever.
I’ll say first off that I am impressed with Aldrich Potgieter’s golf swing, even if it is a Modern Golf Swing version, and although his having reached a 661 Par 5 hole in two at the Mexico Open is impressive compared to what the other pros are doing, it shouldn’t be.
He hit a 331 yard drive and then smoked his Driver off the turf another 323 yards to reach the green, and it’s the second shot that impresses me.
