Hot List Summit Revelation of the Day
The revelation of the day is not really a revelation at all, but a confirmation of what we mostly knew to be true - distance is king. No, we didn’t learn that from watching our testers bash drivers all day long. Rather it came during an interesting 10-minute stretch during lunch when virtually every single one of our testers got up and walked over to watch several long drivers who were practicing for the 2009 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship. Among the bombers gearing up were last year’s champion, Jamie Sadlowski and past champion Jason Zuback. After a few minutes our panelists returned, emasculated by what they had seen. “I never want to be called long off the tee again,” said one of our better players. “I’m not long. Those guys are long.”
