The longest drive using any driver will win one of four £500 American Golf vouchers in Men’s and Ladies’ over 45 and under 45 categories.

Will Sturgess, Brand Manager at American Golf is excited to see the results that the nations golfers record. He commented, “This is set to be the biggest head to head driver test that the U.K. has ever seen and will provide us with the definitive answer to what is the longest driver on the market. With a potential sample size of thousands, not only will we see the limits of each brand when the U.K.’s biggest hitting club golfers step up to the tee, but the average distances from golfers who just want to come and try the clubs side by side will give a unique insight into which club gives the ‘average golfer’ the biggest distance advantage.”

With 4 weeks to put the game’s latest drivers to the test, every golfer has a unique opportunity to see for themselves how the marketing claims translate to real life performance. And with £500 American Golf vouchers up for grabs, every club golfer that fancies themselves as a big hitter can put all the clubs under real pressure and help American Golf crown the winner of this unprecedented test.
