The concept is simple, each challenger has three shots to hit the ball as far and as straight as possible with their driver. They will score points based on where the ball lands in relation to the start line.

Our next challenger is American Golf world long drive champion, Rebecca McGinley. With her long drive history you’d expect this to be right up her street. Can she keep the ball straight though?

Her first shot was just down the left edge, and in the cold damp conditions a carry of 233 yards is a good solid effort.

McKinley first shot

 

Her second is even better. Only a few yards off-line with a carry of 235 yards. If she can keep her lost shot straight she will be in for a good score.

Final shot is a little further off line but hit a couple of yards further. I feel a high score coming here…

After her three shots Rebecca and the Pro went over to the board to discuss her score..

Rebecca you scored 67, well done.

Rebecca’s score after 3 hits…67
