RE/MAX WORLD LONG DRIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS

[Ray Beaufait]

As I have said many times the TV announcers want you to believe the PGA tour players are the longest in the world........NOT......those that compete in the RE/MAX World Long Drive competions are all longer (Almost 60 yards average) than most PGA stars........ What most regular golfers don't understand is the long drivers of America are using PGA authorized compliance only equipment.  My friend, former world long drive champion Steve Griffith, is in his 60s and can still out drive the likes of Robert Garrigus, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson.    If you really want to go long, read the threads about Long drive on this forum.  Click the link below after reading the news release on Sadlowski's victory.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


SADLOWSKI CAPTURES LONG DRIVE CONTEST AT FED-EX CUP KICK-OFF IN HAWAII

ROANOKE, TEXAS (Jan. 6, 2011) - Two-time RE/MAX world long drive Jamie Sadlowski Wednesday outgunned a trio of the PGA Tour's biggest hitters during FedExCup Kick-off activities at the 2011 Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

Sadlowski peeled off four bills on the 18th hole at the Kapalua Plantation Course to win the made-for-TV long drive contest that pitted the 22-year-old Canadian sensation against PGA Tour bombers Robert Garrigus, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson.

With Golf Channel cameras rolling, Sadlowski hammered a three-drive final set of 402-396-407 yards. Watson, the runner-up, tallied 334-352-347 yards.

Sadlowski's 398-yard poke in the three-ball qualifying round paced the early power parade. Watson earned his spot in the finals with 370 yards, while Garrigus, the PGA Tour's driving distance leader the past two years, posted 365 yards and Johnson posted 352 yards.

Tournament officials will make a donation to the Maui Memorial Medical Center Foundation in Sadlowski's honor.

"It was a blast out there," said Sadlowski, who won RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship, the premier event in power golf, in 2008 and 2009. "Actually, I was more nervous than I've ever been at the RE/MAX world finals. But the guys made me feel comfortable and right at home, so that freed me up to make some good rips."

Sadlowski added: "It felt great to reach four bills with my standard length (45") Adams 9064 Speedline driver. Having only three balls per set, as the opposed to the six balls we get at the RE/MAX world finals and at LDA Tour events, made it imperative to find the fairway."
