Scott Smith / White Oak
The La Salle graduate struck gold on the 2004 Long Drivers of America tour: On May 6th he set the world record, with a 539-yard drive in Albuquerque, N.M.
Not bad for a guy whose previous best was 440 yards. "I think the conditions definitely played a part says Scott, there was a pretty good tail wind, and the air was a little thinner." Smith said. "I was hitting about as good as I could." LGA officials confirmed that Smith beat the former record, 510 yards, set by Ryan Gearhart in Arizona in 2002. In March 2002, Smith entered a long-drive competition featured in Golf Magazine and competed in one of 10 tour stops in October. In Washington, D.C. Smith advanced to the finals in Nevada, where he competed against PGA long-drive legend John Daly.
Scott achieved this magnificent drive with the Bang-o-Matic! and finished as the finals champion winning $100,000.
Please note; these LD competitions are held on real grass fairways, not on airport runways.
