In golf stroke mechanics, a drive, also known as a tee shot, is a long-distance shot played from the tee box, intended to move the ball a great distance down the fairway towards the green.
An average professional male golfer is capable of hitting a drive using a 1 wood over 300 yards, maximizing power by driving the legs and hips and the body weight into the swing. Some of the biggest hitters on the PGA Tour such as Bubba Watson, Robert Garrigus, John Daly and Dustin Johnson at very best are capable of driving a ball over 350 yards, although very rare in professional play, but regularly hit drives of over 300 yards. The top 200 or so biggest hitters on the tour in 2007 averaged a drive of 265 yards or over. Some of the biggest hitters on the female tour such as Michelle Wie can hit a ball as far as most of the male players, averaging around 280 yards and capable of almost 350 yards a maximum if the course is downhill. As of 2011, Watson has the longest average drive in professional golf, with an average drive of 315.2 yards, capable of generating a ball speed of 194 mph and drives of up to 370 yards.Mike Austin holds the world record for the longest drive in professional play, driving 515 yards at the Winterwood Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1974, blasting it 65 yards past the flag on the par-4 fifth. His golf swing, known as The Mike Austin Swing, is practiced and taught by current golf professionals. Other notable swings are Ben Hogan's swing, Jim Furyk's swing and Tiger Woods' swing. Golf driving is big business in the United States and golf driving instruction is a multimillion-dollar business with many manuals and instructors offering their expertise to maximize the drives of their consumers.
In the car on the way to the city
In the morning it was foggy on the windscreen
We talked about the day ahead
And shouldn't we just run away instead
We started to believe our dreams
And I just kept driving right past the exit
Throwing our cellphones out of the window
Yelling at the city goodbye we won't miss you
I knew now that our life's on track
As I felt the strength down in my bones come back
You smile at me and I at you
Cause this is all we ever wanted to do
So to the South now with our hearts alive
And our heads free of worry that our lives provide
Off far in the distance almost out of sight
Goodbye to city days so long to city nights
So believing every word we say
I drove on until the break of day
My smile stretched from my ears to yours
There's nothing a bit of fresh breeze won't cure
Go on, you said
Drive on, you said
