Unfortunately, the fairway did not end but curved around into the green…you big drive unfortunatly did not follow the curvature of the fairway and thus you were dq’ed from the competition…although sometimes it’s much nicer dropping some change on those others in the fairway. Nonetheless, it’s all good!

Ah – but one crucial fact was left out of the story – and that was that the drive in question was actually longer than the fairway. This was not a case of the ball landing outside of the fairway but BEYOND the fairway. This drive was soo long that there was not enough fairway to contain it. Like it really dropped some change on the two shorty’s I was playing with – but I digress.
Anyway, now you know the rest of the story.

Sorry Righty…you’ve got long drive folks dropping some info into the mix regarding how long drives are actually measured…the ad nauseum debate wasn’t really necessary after all…like my man, Mr. Garber says, sorry bro! 🙂

Okay… I’ve had plenty of long drive competitions. I’m sorry Righty, but I’ve been bumped out of competitions by guys who hit drives of 360 yards… even though my drive was 380+ yards but out of the grid… in your case, the grid was the fairway. I’ve never heard of a long drive competition where a ball outside of the fairway counted. Sorry, bro…

In the fairway – every long drive prize I’ve ever seen awarded was for longest drive in the fairway.
