3 in a row! QLD State and Tour Champion

After a delayed start to our long drive season I kicked it off with a successful outing.  We had a new venue, a new crowd and some new competitors.  It was our first glimpse of Esk. (the home of our National Finals)

We could not have felt more welcome with a great bunch of locals supporting the event and providing us with a well presented grid. Unfortunately the wind wasn't on our side blowing into our faces for most of the day.

It was quite a battle against the prevailing winds early and proved that experience definitely helped to post good numbers.  Nathanial Barnes (South African who has placed 16th at the WLDC) and myself made it through to the playoffs with very close numbers. 

Nanthanial hit approximately 310 metres in our final and I came out on top with a 330 metre shot to take my 3rd consecutive Queensland long drive title.

In the afternoon we had our first round of the Australasian Tour Championship.  After qualifying the top 4 were Nathanial Barnes, Brendan Moylan, Jason Atkins and myself.  I qualified number one as I hit the longest throughout qualifying which put me up against Brendan Moylan. 

As always it is a hard battle against Breno with him producing his  best shot of the day, my shot happened to be a little better which then put me up against Jason who had eliminated Nathanial.

I produced my best shot of the day and longest shot of the day (335 metres) against Jason which allowed me to take out the first round of the tour this year.

It was a fun event at a great venue and I am looking forward to the Nationals in a months time.  Thankyou to the Esk Golf Club and everyone who contributed to this successful event.

Brent defends Queensland State LD Title

Alot of newcomers to our first event proved they can mix it with the big boys with some impressive distances being posted.

With a new format this year for state events it is vital to get a good number out there early as the top 2 distances have a play off for the State Title.

I posted an early number of 332.4m which was good enough to qualify for the playoff.

It was a hard fought battle with Craig "Animal" Grigson where conditions were less than favourable.  The wind turned straight into our faces.  I came out on top with a shot of 313m over Craig's number of 298m.

We now have a month to go until the National Finals in Penrith.  

My website will soon be getting a new look, come back soon. 

Australian Long Drive Season Round 1

After a delayed start to the season this year we are coming up to our first round of the Australian Long Drive Championships. 

The first round will be held at Redland Bay with most of the Top 10 in the country coming to compete. 

There are a number of new competitors this year with plenty of speed to keep things interesting. 

If you have the chance to make it out to the event do so, you will not be disappointed the Top 4 players in the country are confirmed entrants. 

Hope to see you there!
