Just got a call from Brian... "Selly" from Billings, Montan, where this weeked he is competing in the local and regional qualifying event to attend the ReMax World Long Drive Championship in Mesquite, Nevada. Selly was calling just to let us know that he qualified for the Regional in Billings, by knocking the cover off the ball 350 yards into the wind, to qualify in 3rd place. This guy has had more than a few people tell him he should be going to Long Drive Championship events, and with his family's encouragement and support, HE'S on his way!!!
Congratulations, Brian! Good luck tomorrow, where he will be squaring off against the other qualifiers, in a double elimination, to see if he qualifies for heading to Mesquite in October.
I've got a picture of him cranking the ball, and I have only been able to retrieve those at 361 yards, as that is all the deeper our range is this year. But, once I jump the fence and chop the weeds down to the slough,
I know there are going to be more balls that he has launched out of our range "ballpark."
Good luck to you and your family this weekend, I hope that you smuck it further than all of your competitors, but then we're a little bit over the line on your side.
If you should see a small blue Honda CRV with a Chicago Cubs emblem for the spare tire, you need to watch this gorilla hit the ball!
I'll post again tomorrow, and hopefully this will reach the RC Journal, and if he doesn't call it in, I will!
