  • athlete haha thats a bunch of bull shit you dont have to be athletic to play golf

  • @gummiebearnum2 Not your typical football or baseball athlete, but flexibility is big along with hand/eye coordination. There is a reason only a few thousand people in the world are pros at it

  • FAKE!!!!!!

  • horse shit.

    I see where all of these stupid spam posts on all of the other golf videos come from now.

    Don't forget to flag those stupid all caps posts for spam when you see them!

  • bull shit

    

  • does anybody know details about this long drive....i have to think it hit a yardage marker in the fairway or something and got a good bounce. cause come on, when he did it there were no R11's or RAZR drivers these guys like sadlowski can hit them 400+ how the hell did this old timer get the ball over 500?

  • if there was a turtle in this video i'd like it

  • i tried hitting a golf ball today for the first time. i used a 3 iron i think and i hit it over 100 yards.

  • @snowboardskater1102 i can hit my pitching wedge that far, keep practicing and read ben hogans book (5 lessons)

  • @snowboardskater1102 thats preety nice to tell you the truth if you worked at it you could make it to 250

  • MIKE AUSTIN WAS THE GREAT TEACHES IN THE WORLD OF GOLF AND HE HIT THE GOLF BALL 515 YARD AT AGE 64 HE IS WORLD RECORD NOW

  • @bigboycat1 no shit

  • Mike Austin was a pretty special golfer, but I don't think he 'cracked the code' as this guy says. 0 Tour wins is proof enough of that. Even when he hit the record drive that was 50 yards past the green, he then chipped on and three putted for bogey...

  • @Kaptainrdean It was a par 5? Then he obviously parred the hole you retard.

  • MIKE AUSTIN IS GREAT TEACHES IN THE WORLD OF GOLF AND DAN SHAUGER LEARN FROM AUSTIN, I HAD LESSON FROM DAN AND NOW HIT GOLF BALL STRAIGHT DOWN LINE AND HE HELP WITH MY PUTTING TO. DAN HAS 2 BOOK AND 27 DVD AND WORKING ON NEW PICTURE BOOK THANK AGAIN DAN

  • 1:11

  • this was so borring! omg nothing happend

  • it is hard to believe, I can't believe a 400 yard carry with old equipment, no matter the person. On a dry desert course with large tailwind I can imagine over 150 yards roll though.

  • @MrArcturus28 True, but in PGA tournament play..Mike Austin is longest

  • this guy, maybe downhill, a hurricane downwind, at an elevation of 25,000 feet off the wing of an airplane

  • Looks more like Josef Fritzl...

  • 515 yards my ass. Swing like that hits it 300

  • Obelix and chuck norris could beat that.. ;-p

  • Moe Norman.

    

  • @gripper61 ahhahahha moe norman yesss!

  • One of the greatest ball strikers and teachers.

    Brilliant mind and a golf treasure.

    mentoredbythelegend

  • I've heard about the 515 yd drive. It was down an airplane runway with a 40mph or so tailwind.

  • he's not the record holder for the longest drive.............. what about the guy who hit the ball on the moon??? it went miles

  • mike austin was a flammer

  • He did it on the Palms course in Las Vegas hole #5 or 14. Some say there was no wind, Mike said he remembered about a 25 mph gust that hit at about the time he swung. The ball carried 465 to the front of the green, hit grass and bounced over the green. 515 yards total. Witnessed by the group of golfers who were on the green at the time and were asked to stand back so that Mike could make the try without holding up play during the PGA Senior Tournament in which this drive was made. No bs

  • Scientists worked out that with tail wind and swing speed of 155mph then 515 is possible. Mike's swing speed has been measured officially at 155 so there's also a chance it could be slightly faster on a good day. That drive was certainly a good day.

  • Thanks for the big stupid video about nothing.

  • first off, this is real. its nearly impossible to hit a ball anywhere over 400 yards, but im sure mike did it partially due to the layout of the hole. If he landed his drive on a downhill slope, and the drive carried over 400 yards, and there were dry fairways, then its definitely possible.

  • I just watched a vid of a guy who is the five time long distance drive champion his ball speed reached 204 mph and he didn't even hit it close to 500+ yards so I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one

  • this is bullshit , if you can do something once , you can do it again , thats champions are multiple champions , all this man has done , is create a bullshit story and got a couple a corrupt members of his club , to back up his bullshit story , this story is from the nation that invented the " ABB PRO 2000 " - its gives you rock hard abbs in only 2. 5 seconds workout per day

  • @MrYoshicat from wiki: Playing in the 1974 U.S. National Seniors Tournament, at the Winterwood Golf Course, Austin was put in a foursome with PGA Champion Chandler Harper. He drove the ball on 450-yard par 4, bounced over the green, rolled past the pin and off the back edge. They identified the ball as Austin's, the drive was 515 yards. It was done on level ground, using a 10 degree persimmon wood driver, a balata ball and Mike Austin was 64 years old. No corrupt members...and marshalls, too.

  • @BobS311 "cough" bullshit!

  • where are the witnesses to this event ? why could'nt he recreate this event , even within a 100 yards of it , a couple a lying club members isn't good enough proof , grandpah's clubhead speed is now where fast enough to acheive this feat ,

  • check out hitmanhawky.... grip and release vid. must see this one

  • On your own mate, his swing resembles my 6 year old cousin

  • You guys make to big of a deal about yards and feet , this has to be the most lame Internet argument in history...

  • He had a 155 mph + swing. It was measured in a grid back in the 30's. Science has proved it can be done with a swing speed this fast. Plus that was measured, i'm sure it could have been faster on a good day? The point is that it doesn't matter how it looks, there is deceptive speed in this swing due to his throwing and shifting action that is different from turning as in the pga method. Guys do some research or be ignorant all your lives...

  • what the hell r u talking about yards were never feet douche xmanhockey

  • considering the old small drivers they were using back in the day... thats insane!!!!

  • If yards were feet back then, then his drive would have been 171 yards? Come on now we would not be making a big deal about a 171 yard drive.

  • this is yards not feet so shut up

  • I know that's what I'm saying.

  • retard

  • You're the one that's to stupid to realize what I'm saying.

  • OK what are you smokin and give me some, there are 3 feet to a yard.

    God we work with metric in my country and I know that

    I think something you should be making a big deal about is getting a better education

  • You don't understand what I was saying. There was someone on here that said at one point in time yards were feet so I was saying that he was wrong.

  • Yeah I know my response was suppose to go under that guys comment not the top of the list

  • @GeneralG1810 I agree because its simple math.....I mean who wouldn't know that....I actually shouldn't say that because this guy was asking the question who is the vice president of the united states(this was only for people 16-22,and I'm 14) and only 5 people out of 28 got it right.....yeah thats kinda sad and we need a better education systems maybe more like the Germans.....

  • @bratpit80 What the fuck are you on about, that makes absolutely no sense at all

  • man u kno that guy is rich if he has a cadilac HAT.

  • BORING!! didnt even show him do it

  • Boring? Well, he did it in 1974 , on the Senior Tour. Not too many people were recording that one, if anyone.

    As far as Austin's secret, they hinted at it in this video... and that is the left-side power-shift at setup to the ball. First, make sure you are in shape, seriously. Transfer yur weight on your left side, about 80%. Make sure your left arm is literally LOCKED straight and stiff, and the club is also in-line with your left arm.... learn how to swing that way, like Austin did.

  • As hard as it it to believe, it looks like Austin did indeed hit the 515 yard drive, at least according to Wikipedia. I haven't bothered looking it up in the Guinness Book of World records, as I lost interest in the span of a few minutes of research.

  • He does have a great swing

  • 515 yards my ass

  • Soooo... we have a video entitled "Golf's 515 Yard Drive" - - - with no footage whatsoever of the drive, or any long drive for that matter. FAIL 1/5

  • with a HUGE tail wind.

  • 515 yards?

    maybe on a downhill par 5 when the ground is frozen in the middle of winter.

    maybe

  • dude its in the guinness book of world record..his driver is in the pga tour hall of fame. Do a search on google before posting your nonsense.

  • OK thesource012007,

    I will try to make my point less humorously.

    When an individual accomplishes something that is so unlikely you look for a reason.

    Mike Austin's swing is not substantially different from other pros. He is not some physical anomoly. His equipment was regulation. So it is POSSIBLE there MIGHT have been contributing environmental conditions on the day he set his record.

    Satisfied, asshole?

  • It is well known that there was 30-35 mph wind helping his shot. And yes Austin was a big hitter on tour...way longer than average. My equipment is regulation too and I rarely get out driven.

  • Austins swing is different from many pros,it is actually suited for the driver,which may explain why he didn't win as much as other great swingers.He has a single axis like Mo norman,between the shaft and forearm.he also has a very high takeaway ,very much over his head,which creates alot of arc and speed.He also contacts the driver with a throw or wrists unhinging which adds a last burst for long drivers works well ,but not with the irons.He was also from what I take a very strong person.

  • None of you guys now that he holds the record for the longest drive on the PGA Tour. Not the longest drive ever. Do some research before you go calling people liars. This is 100% true.

  • Comment removed

  • zubacks a 5'9 faggot.

  • I wasn't aware his sexual orientation was relevant to his golf, thesource012007.

    Do you know he is a faggot from first hand experience?

    I'll bet his long drives were pretty painful up your tight little back nine. Moron.

  • Why do you want to know if he was a faggot? To me that sounds pretty gay. Obviously you are questioning your sexual orientation.

  • fail

  • holy fuck thats clever frobsniffler... no joke, good call.

  • @frobsniffler why are you such a dick

  • @frobsniffler probably the most ultimate diss ever.. you got to feel bad for thesource012007

  • This Moe Normans swing also. single plane swing.

  • That's exactly what I was thinking...good call

  • 371,101 views --- yup I am the one on the end there . . . . and wondering why? with so many gems in the youtube . . why I ran across this . . . . . . .

  • wtf?

  • Looks like the Austrian freak, Joseph Fritzel

  • yeah im hearing that!

  • He can probably hit it 300 yards with that swing and modern equipment. No way he can match the power of Mike Dobbyn nor the speed of Jamie Sadlowski.

    I think this is full of crap.

  • "he can probably..."? he hit his record drive in competition, so what are you talking about?

  • bull fucking shit!!!!

  • becuz every 3 year old can make youtube accounts and type an also make texting smiley faces too

  • Almost 350 000 views...almost 350 000 disappointed..

  • yea but he was OB and had to hit again and took a double bogey with the penalty! lol

  • No.. they didn't find his ball until after playing the hole. when walking to the next tee box they found it 50 yards past the green.. He took a drop in the designated drop zone and the penalty.

  • wat a fuckin homo

  • fucking weak shit...pussies

  • wow r u joking he looks like he hits it 200

  • fucking stupid

  • i hav way better montages thn this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • um no its not

  • FUCK YOU

  • lmao and you clicked this video

  • Mike WHo? What tour events did he win again?

  • haha guys take it easy im just playing around

  • Show me the drive not the blah blah blah

  • what a retard

  • fucking homo

  • em.. no brain too

  • im 7'8'' 330, i have an 8 inch flacid and i can pound it 780 into the wind

  • bullshit

  • YA THINK!?

    -_-

  • you may have an 8 inch flacid but i have an 8 inch cock.

    fucking bullshit

  • thats my boy! ^^^^^

  • hahaha

  • then your lfie sucks because no girl wuld wanan go with you, and you stick out , wow sucks for you

  • i've been playing golf for 2 days now and i can hit 260 but it doesnt mean i'm good at golf

  • I play on a course which is next to an interstate freeway. I've punched a shot that ended up on the back of truck once and it was driven for hundreds of miles.....I win...ha ha

  • what's his short game and putting like? thats why i never heard of him probably cause he doesn't have much of one.

  • The man who cracked the code was Ben Hogan, not Mike Austin. I realize we won't settle this argument here, so I'll just give my .02 that I consider Mike Austin was physically gifted with a good but not great swing.

  • yeah well I'm 27, 245 kinda fat and can hit 360 so shut up losers

  • big deal im same age -10 lbs. and can do 275

  • damn let me just say you 3 are all pretty damn tight with your dick measuring contest and all. save it for the course no one on here gives a shit

  • chip crap worse eva

  • mike austin is the father of the modern golf swing and anyone who writes him of is the equivalent of ...ing donkey who could not find thier own ....hole with a flash lite and a map

  • thts wat i thought

  • مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا

  • claude, thats exactly right

  • HUH!?!?! lol... Never heard of him. Never missed a put within 20 feet? MY ASS!!! lol...

  • wtf? most retarded thing ive ever heard

  • yeah me too i never missed a putt ever and drive it 600 yards dead straight if i want but you know its gets boring

  • wie is the most OVERRATED player in the history of golf. she is terrible compared to the actual tour players.

  • but he cant drive it

  • hmmm history of golf huh? dude she is only 19 years old, let her make some history first before you go off on your lil tyrade about how much she sucks

  • hahahahahaha 515 yards.... :DD

  • golf is well shit get girlfriends

  • hahahahahha so true

  • The only way someone can hit a golf ball 500 yards is if they:

    -Hit the best drive of your life;

    -On a severely downhill hole with a 40+ mph tailwind.

    -The drive must land on the cart path and bounce down that cart path many times.

    Even a 400 yard drive is unheard of really. But 500 yards? I am 26 and have played baseball and golf since I was a little kid. I'm 6'1 tall and 210 pounds and hit the ball far. 280-300 yards average on my drive. My longest drive is 375 yards. My Handicap is 9.

  • Tiger woods can hit it 400 yds and he doesnt even hit for distance

  • Hmm, well I've been watching Tiger since 1996 on tv and never once have I seen him hit it 400 yards. I'm sure there's a good chance that he's hit a handfull of drives over 400 in his life. But he averages about 300 yards on his drives. Sure, somtimes he'll pop one out there 350 +/-, but I cannot remember ever hearing about him hitting a 400 yard drive in a professional PGA golf tournament. Him or anyone else for that matter. The guys in the long drive comps use illegal clubs and balls... ;)

  • i heard him say at the british he hit 400+ with a LOT of wind.

  • um the longest drive is 515yds

  • Ya, but it must have been a fluke with conditions similar to those that I stated.

  • at high elevations the air is a lot thinner and you can hit the ball much further. I am a 21 handicap so im not to great but i hit a 400 yard drive at 12,000 feet

  • Lol, ya that's true. I forgot about the altitude factor... That's a really high golf course at 12,000 feet! Where's that at? I think the highest I've played is 5,000 or so.

  • WTF?? I want to SEE someone HITTING a golf ball!!!

  • I love how much people talk shit on here... guaranteed you're all pussies who can't fight for shit. Stop talking shit over the internet, it's so dumb. Have an intelligent convorsation and stop talking about how you'd beat my ass for writing this... YOU DONT KNOW ME! YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME. So knock it off and enjoy the video, or be constuctive... stop making the world a shitty place to live!!!

  • who cares, the only reason you can probably hit 300 yards is cuz your so fat, you just shift your weeight by throwing your fatness from your back foot to front you idiot

  • shifting your weight helps but how to hit long drive is all in the lag. i have an eigth gader on my team who it it 320 on a flat fairway no wind and he might weigh 145. i played with someone who weighed 165 and hit it a avg of 330 he was skinny and about 6,6 he just unleashed on it. i play and i way 195 and im am short i hit it about 280 avg but when i hold the realese i have a avg of 320. i do throw my weight in it because it does help but it is not the key thing to do.

  • i know many people who are just older than u and can drive further than that u fukin idiot stop braging coz i bet ur so fat you can barley walk the full 18 holes and i bet u stop half way for a pei u fat shit give up

    P.S. go die in a hole knowone loves u u fat lard fuk u

  • Yah I putt with my Driver...

  • I can drive 980 metric tons with my grandma on my shoulders... and im 3 years old!

  • Hey, your profile says your 23.

    You're a 23 in a 3 year old's body?

  • hes 3 years mentally...

  • considering 350 FEET is only about 120 yards thats not exactly anything to boast about is it.

  • that guy reminds me of kevin spacey

  • But AHON57 i can tell you, that it doesn't matter if you shoot 500 yards and hit it out of bounds almost every time...

    I would rather hit it 20-25 yards shorter and be in the middle of the fairway every time

  • im 15 i hit 345 to 350 and let me tell you that gives me a better advantage than a 20 foot putt

  • 345-350 feet

  • Wow your pretty good, but I don't think that you hit 345 350 because some pros barely hit that. But if you do I don't have problem.

  • Why's everyone boasting about how far they can hit the ball. Ever heard the term 'Drive for show, putt for dough'?

    I'll be honest i'm 15 and can only hit it about 200 ish yards off the tee!

  • Hey im twelve i hit 220-270 average straight im pretty good but im still twelve.

  • 220-270? That's a big margin, more like 220-225.

  • Yea I hit about 200 average to 230 best.

  • he must have a shitty short game because if he hits the 500 yards how is he not a pro
