7ft 7" (350lbs) GOLFER hits it MILES | Long Drive Challenge

alright guys I'm just getting packed up to leave the house because I'm excited I'm filming with my good friend Paul today Paul Sturgis is the tallest man in Europe and he's the I would say the tallest golfer in the world we first met will for about three years ago when we played in the British Masters Brown with Terrell Hudson and then a couple years ago I invited him up to Manchester do some filming and you might see in the video where we swapped golf clubs and believe me when I say pause golf of absolutely massive and we swaps I tried to play with his club that was a lot of fun and then Lashley activated my youtube golf bag and everybody there he was easily a person people wanted the picture with most last time I saw him he was seven foot seven and a half inches he might have grown since off to find out and I've heard he's playing some decent golf he's got his handicap down and I thought be a good time to challenge him to a longest drive competition I don't bump to my chances but it should be a lot of fun I can't wait to see Paul again there he is sorry pal I'm ready good I'm good I'm excited about this boots you versus me no longest drive doesn't say I got to show you this these are Paul's golf shoes size 19 look at that I'm a size 11 UK and 19's custom-made just a fall alright so we've played golf a few times now it's been good every time we plays but I've always thought what would a longest drive be like against you cuz obviously you've got to hit it further one because you've got long leavers I believe now you're a 5 handicap put in a 5 year so I'm quite good you've really improved because I think you're off about seven last time I saw it yeah so I'm intrigued I'm intrigued to see how far you can eat you driver definitely but you've told me that you don't really drive a great obviou monos and there are lockdowns been a killer for me ball so I want to see how far but before we get to drivers I want to see maybe a time distance 4-iron distances and then drive I mean we'll hit a few warm-up shots anyway get it going cuz in theory just thinking like your leavers are absolutely massive because if I if I was even I'm six thought if I was to reach out far much higher can you reach of that yeah so it's a quite a bit more right let's get a few warm-up shots and then we'll get GT caught on fire [Music] right just well Paul's want to show you this obviously Paul's clubs a custom-made room this is his putter versus my pizza look at the difference there between the two I never put with Paul's I mean it's like a broom handle putter it's longer than my driver comfortably longer than my driver let me see if I can hold one believe I could never use that [Music] all right so warm up dawn and we're both feeling loose so first challenge run the longest drive we're going to start off with an 8-iron and then move into a 4-iron and then we're gonna go driver you ready for this really good we're gonna use range balls for the eight iron and the four iron then we're gonna use real pro-v ones for the driver I've got DC quad I'm intrigued in warmup Paul looked like he was hitting it an absolute mile I was doing everything I come to try and catch up so let's go a time first we're gonna hit five shots each and play it like a match play format whoever hits it longest goes one up until we have a winner okay a tie in first it's a decent star a hundred and fifty yards of carry thank you bye I can get past that with a walker put some words all right 150 here we go should be a little tickle out look God not my best boots courage 180 a hundred and eighty yards per hour at oh boy okay one up to Paul well let's be differences there I was 95 miles per hour Paul was out over a hundred miles per hour with an 8-iron right down to Paul's one up try to play a big hockey one 166 I'm warming now but you think you can hit a 200 yard 8-iron if I give it absolute boons that's what we want to see good 1/9 393 yards but whether they 193 yards and a tie it is outrageous I so good see what 167 I'm getting longer that's nice that's a nice flight I was already one seven - oh okay start short this week three or four four with the 8-iron is longest was 190 plus yards with an 8-iron okay let's move on to for iron X I'm not sure what else I can do to hit it longer but I'm intrigued what's the four I have for you normally remember him only not close to twenty two three four we'll find out marry food challenge to four iron and I'm normally about 280 yards not 250 yards so I'm going to don't beat my old timer he's saying he can he's gonna hit a time fast my for that's a locator 214 yards which normally I'd be over the moon with I feel like I'm going to lose by about 4 - here no pressure just a 2-14 to beat oh oh 184 slap - you might be a big pole but you still gotta find the middle of the clubface huh Rick unexpectedly goes one up in the flooring challenge kind of hit big raking drawers 219 yards get that I'm under person or you're starting it I feel like even if you did a half swing right little chippie one just to find the middle of the clubface you'd still be down to 19 but that's not what people have come here to see people want to see you absolutely an eye light for I'd oh it's a bit of a low chaser at the left soos parties through Wow okay it's a bit high 216 yards I mean consistent I'm gonna say I'll give myself up 216 yards two feet fall through 16 it's exactly 16 Wow hole that was that round was half that 216 exactly carry each because we do match play so far it's all square for the three shots we've hit so two more two more shots to go or I didn't get the drawer it's a pushy one 214 yards I mean I'd be over the moon with my dispersion on these but that's not the wrong photo for pure distance it's a low one at the left one 9400 not finding the middle of the face oh you have all that speed but you got to hit the middle Rick goes one off with one to go with the four iron this could go down as my greatest achievement well that's a nice log that's a nice flight 215 yards I'm not getting much better than that they're all carry distances 102 miles per hour Corvette speed I'm swinging out my boots with a 4-iron there a chance for ammonia come on that's what's good 2:21 only just hits me so that means the four i round finished all square let's go into drive and now we've been debating whether you can actually swing driver in here yeah so we've we've established because here in paul is seven foot seven and a half inches right you cannot swing driver in here with that roof so gonna go outside set it all up and then to have a longest drive me versus Paul Lee versus tiny C wins okay so we're outside longest drive time but before we get going Paul keeps using this excuse it's not in its driver very well so hope I'm gonna give in the opportunity to it some war workshops first with range balls before we get the pro-v ones out and what I'm interested to know is club head speed I normally swing about 110 112 miles per hour how fast can pull swing the driver and then we'll have a little challenge against each other nice okay so Paul is warming up and he has got some serious Club at speed with his driver swinging over a hundred and twenty miles per hour but as he mentioned as a good Rodney he's not been hitting it great bought like a heavyweight boxer he just catches one it is gonna be a knockout blow the challenge is simple we're gonna hit five shots each and it's do can hit the one longest golf shot if he honestly catches one he'll absolutely annihilating start off quite well a time I was piping upon quite disappointed by the four iron I'm doing some pace but just need to find the middle of the club so bribe has not been very well since lockdown but I definitely know if I can catch one out of the middle Rick's not gonna get anywhere near me so fingers crossed I can go a good one away okay so here we go longest drive time I'm gonna eat my thigh first and remember it's the longest shot that counts and we're gonna go on total distance so these five shots I'm gonna absolutely try and smash it I need to put down a strong benchmark for Paul to try and beat let's go come up [Music] long night long [Music] [Music] as well 335 yards little whitey I've surprised myself that I'm absolutely tried to bash them I managed to get out 345 yards of total distance still not swinging as fast as you though so I honestly think you can catch one there is a huge potential to beat me I should be able to go past I've just got to find him in there's a clock with no doing sorry five shots to see if Paul can get past that okay here we go I've got five pro-v ones for Paul two hits and no excuses you got 345 yards to beat which I'm totally surprised about I didn't think of it that far Kearney Park I'm ready I'll go through this that's ridiculous that is ridiculous so already out of the blocks the first girl shot total distance 320 yards and he swung it faster than I did didn't quite strike the middle there is pure distance gonna happen with these next few shots so far the leading that is a bullet did you hit our well that's ridiculous okay so that swing was 124 miles per hour that is fast that's like Tiger Woods rory mcilroy for bed speed I told this but it's 315 yards [Music] like Disney a glimmer of hope for completely sky dark and it went and 71 yards but this isn't a competition about averages is about longest he still got two more to go right three four five to beat it's a low bull a chaser that is low and long oh my goodness it's carried 310 total distance cannot believe it 349 yeah he beat me by what four yards with one golf ball left to go that is ridiculous club head speed 126 miles per hour outrageous that is the knockout blow Tom Paul everyone will stone this golfer hits it a bloody mile thanks watching guys they'd keep lots more to come and we'll see you next time our shows me
