With a drive of 368 yards. Zuback last won in 1999. This year he used
a Cobra head and a Graphite Design PM702 XX-flex shaft at a 47.5"
length. He collected $125,000 for his effort.
During an earlier round he bashed one 389 yards. That's RSG huge.
To put it in perspective, that's only about 160 yards past
you-know-who's tight lie one-iron.
The very top LDA guys average over 350 yards per swing in competition,
in all conditions. The 5'9" Zuback has the longest winning drive in the
finals, just over 412 yards back in '97.
In the Women's Division, 19-year old student Phillis Meti (Auckland, NZ)
qualified for the Semifinals with a bomb of 289 yards, ten yards further
than her nearest competitor. Improving as she advanced, she took out
her opponent with a 317 yard blast and then won the finals with a 326
yard monster. Meti won using an SMT head matched to an Accuflex shaft.
Doug Miller of Ft. Wayne, IN took the Super Senior (over-55) division
with a drive of 326 yards. He used a Bang head and a Stolz shaft.

Interesting that the drive that counted in the senior division was
longer 378 yards.

Conditions in these competitions vary by layout. Some are quite downhill.
I haven't seen an uphill one yet... Not to put down the results at all.
There are some serious longdrivers out there!

Does the Remax long drive competition ever get televised? I've never
seen it on The Golf Channel.

Zuback could outdrive Lllarry with his 7-iron.
We were members at the same club for a couple of years and I played with
him probably half a dozen times. There's this one par-3, 225 yards. Me,
5-wood, Jason, 7-iron. This wasn't his hit it to the moon long drive swing
either; that was just how far the ball went. Second hole at that course
was 420 and he came very close to driving it several times. It's a little
strange to have a 6-iron in on a hole while the other guy is chipping on.
