The sport of long drive doesn’t usually bring to mind the phrase “It’s a game of inches,” but that’s exactly what it turned out to be for Kyle Berkshire on Monday (AEDT). Twice.
There were a couple conditions working in Berkshire’s favour. For one, he was at 6,700 feet of elevation. And for another, he had a 22mph tailwind. But good luck to anyone trying to beat this guy.
Among his long list of long drive accomplishments, Kyle Berkshire holds the record for fastest club speed and fastest ball speed. But this week he may have set a more unofficial record. And he did it by accident.
