be any different for the 8 iron shot. still not something to brag about at the range though. cause i hit one 1000 yards down an air strip once (joke from jack the hammer infomercial) pow Well... I once hit a 384 yard drive on a par 4 that ended up pin-high and it a straight-away hole. I kid you not. I could end the story there. Or I could expand and mention that it was in Palm Springs on a desert course where the 'desert' areas were actually crushed marble and that I pushed my drive quite a bit but it hit that hard ground and caromed back towards the fairway and just kept on going. Oh... and it was blowing about 45 miles an hour from directly behind us. You just never know how much of the story you're being told in a situation like this. I'm okay with the drive... like everyone said it could be you catch one and blah, blah, blah.... but 198 with an 8 iron seems unlikely... and the two shots back to back... i would defintiely 4 putt, just to put the world back in balance. then again he was using an R11s... whihc goes 15 yards further than the R11, which was 15 yards longer than the R9, and with a Rocketballz shaft ... never mind... let me put down the kool-aid.
