  If you ended in the rough it won't count and won't show in your stats.

  jacktrade51:

  Not to ask a stupid question, but does it have to be longest on fairway or green, or is it just yardage,

  My longest to date is 410 yards on RSG, so not competing with above, but I went over the green and ended up in rough,  Would that count?

  With my level 103 driver, right hole & wind, I might be able to do 450-500 on a couple of holes on Wolf.  But whether I would try depend on the reward, since I might hate result.

  Agreed, it should show in the stats, meaning that

  - it must be a ranked stroke play round,

  - it must not hit rough or fringe.

  Now I'm going to be forced to buy the longest ball and go play Wolf Creek.

  I don't remember the exact yardage but it was in a mobile game a couple nights ago. Someone i was playing got a great kick on st andy with a huge tailwind and it went into the 470 yard range.

  While my stats show a 400yd drive I'm not actually there yet...399,69...probably the closest there is to it without getting there.

  Let's say 450 to 500?

  I had a 455 yarder off the rock at Wolfie's 17th a few days ago with the Lvl96 Bertha and a lvl33 Cally. I'm sure someone can go further with the new driver and a high level ball - www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=7567a4d9-05f6-4cb5-8433-aa72014d2d24

   

  NICE :)

  a well placed rock !!!

  Wow, that's really how it works? Harsh! I would regard fringe as an improvement over fairway.

  Sounds like a Marketing Campaign

  Hey Don,

  Just got around to visiting the 400 club thread again, when I saw this this thread mentioned.

  Thanks for the congrats! Wish indeed I had hit that one on PC, would've been a nice reply.

  Funny that, soon as I posted it, others starting posting about Wolf Creek #17. It's a more technically sound shot than Cabo IMO as it's such a small target to hit; but when you do the roll out is huge: over 100 yds in my case.

  AFAIK looking through the thread it's the longest - nice to see someone else has broke the 470 yd mark though.

  Cheers all

  Steve
