If you didn’t think it was possible to carry a drive over 400 yards, think again. England’s Joe Miller not only accomplished that feat, but he did on several occasions on his way to winning this year’s World Long Drive Championship.
First, he belted one a mere 437 yards which actually ran out of real estate, only to outdo himself when he posterized one 439. That’s basically a half a mile of distance combined.

Some PGA Tour players took to Twitter in total fan mode and their reactions were fantastic.

Yes, chicks still dig the long ball, but this is getting ridiculous.
