This kid, Brooks Davis, routinely drives both 8 and 9, par 4s. One or the other of them is always against the wind.
He hits medium irons to the par 5s. He is probably 20-25 yards longer than David, and 50 longer than I am.

That's friggin insane and by golly, unfair. For a high school kid to hit it that far. That's John Daly length. Sheesh.
I haven't played in two years because of rotator cuff surgery but when I quit, you and I would hit the same cuz David is 30 yards longer than me. What I consider "long" is someone who carries the ball 270. That's pro length. And a lot of top amateurs hit it that far. But then there's the rest of the game.

What kills me about David is how friggin accurate he is. I mean, on any given day. Radar. Then last week, he amazed even the t.v. announcers. I was feeling sorry for him blowing $350,000 with the double bogey couple of weeks ago. Now, he made $1.3 mil and I saw where the West Coast Swing bonus or something added $200,000. Isn't that something! $1.5 million. That's more than 99% of the planet earns in a lifetime. A beautiful wife, rich forevermore, in the top 10 in the world playing a friggin game. I hate him.
