    I just watched a couple YouTubes on pros like Bubba Watson and Rory Mac using a driver in the fairway on long par 5s to hit the green in 2.  That is not possible in WGT.  Your driver is basically useless off the deck in WGT unless there is some secret code that I am missing. :-)

    How about it WGT?  Make the driver useful off the deck.

    You can punch a driver off the fairway, but it's a very low trajectory shot.

    Correct Scott.

    I would like to add that with the OP's current equipment and ball, the OP should not have any problems reaching any of the Par 5's in 2, unless of course WGTChampion cranks up the 30 mph headwinds. Not saying that Champ has EVER done that intentionally. Like during a MAJOR event or anything like that. 

    LOL

    What does OP mean?

     

    BTW, I want to do a driver off the deck just like Bubba. LOL.

    Perhaps WGT have not made this shot available to reduce the probability of people driving balls out of bounds.

    Another one that does beautiful driver-off-the-deck shots is Rory Mac.

    Never given a shot to this one. Added to my to-do list. ;)

    It may present an opportunity of a wedge #4 instead of 3W in the bag if any significant result obtained. Interesting!

    Always handy if you want to take out a low flying duck Simon. : ))

    P.S. I do like ducks, especially when they stick their heads into the water and all you can see is their backside above the surface, so funny. Just me then huh?  : ))
