I was working with Brian Nash in 2001, when he had his best finish in the Remax World Long Drive Championship. He finished 3rd that year. I was most proud when the commentator at the event introduced Brian and said (approximately), "this guy has the best golf swing out of all of these guys."

The interesting thing was that Jason Zuback, who has won multiple times, didn't make it to the finals that year. I think the grid is 40 yards wide, and he never hit inside the grid. He barely kept the five balls in Nevada. I think Brian hit every ball in the grid in the finals. With the reckless abandon that these guys have to use, it's amazing that they can hit the grid at all.

The thing that wins the event is the 1 longest ball. So, they're not very concerned with accuracy. It's a TOTALLY different sport than playing golf. They don't have to play their misses.
