  1. This is a look back on the longest hitters on the EUROPEAN Tour looking back from Jan 2015 over 10 years or so. Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson were not European tour members so will not be on the list. Garcia was never longest on the European tour in this era or any era. Rory i would agree with.

  2. I forget which Ryder cup it was,but it was at the Belfry.Seve Ballesteros was given the go ahead to take his tee shot on a par four.He put it on the green in one,when Calcavecia,and others were still putting out.They were not happy about it.So these efforts are not that great.But! that was Seve,the greatest of them all.Don’t tell me who won more majors,I already know.But Seve was the greatest of all time.

  3. Seems like the PGA is starting to catch up with the European Tour's production quality (on Youtube). Regardless its good for the average sports fan.
