Cheers, TipRoast.
I was on my phone and couldn't embed things!
Phenomenal swing, isn't it?

Maybe the best I've ever seen.

Good Lord.

436 yards? I've never heard of a pro golfer playing an actual hole hitting one anywhere near that far. There is a legendary story of Arnold Palmer driving the green on a par 4 in the US Open at Cherry Hills in 1960 and I looked that up.

He hit his 346 yards.

I think he got all of that one.

There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.' He was a funny guy.

McIlroy had a 396 yard drive today (British Open, 2nd round).

That kid might launch one into orbit some day.

Funnily enough, Caroline Wozniacki won the tournament she was playing as well.

In this month's (August 2014) edition of Scientific American, the author of the Anti-Gravity column, Steve Mirsky, crafted this phrase: "...a daily vehicular-begotten, greasy-grimy gopher-gutted Guernica."

Apparently his awareness of popular culture is not unlike those who have been posting in this thread.

So he has that going for him, which is nice.
