Longest golf drive in competition:
Name: Mike Austin
Date: 1974
Place: National Seniors Open in Las Vegas
Distance: 515 Yards
Notes: The hole is long, straight, and flat, measuring at 450 yards. Mike Austin had a 30 MPH tailwind to assist him. Needless to say his drive went well over the green. His carry was just over 400 yards, landing short of the green, then taking some nice bounces coming to rest 65 yards past the flag.
He did all of this with a wooden driver and the old golf balls.
The longest drive ever was on an airport runway by Jack Hamm, it went 1012 yards.
