Re: No more treatment available for my wife's appendix cancer. Thanks for the reply. The cancer has spread diffusely in the peritoneum and appears to be affecting the nerves controlling the bowel - so a stoma isn't really an option unless the gut regains some function and surgery isn't an option either.
Another longest drive in PGA Tour history is credited to Mike Austin, 64 years old at the time, who hit a 515-yard drive on Sept. 25, 1974 in the National Seniors Open Championship, the pre-cursor to the U.S. Senior Open. Austin hit the drive on a 450-yard par 4 at Desert Rose Golf Club in Las Vegas.
Some shots in competitions surpass 400 yards (366 m). The world record recognized by Guinness Records as the longest drive in a competition is 515 yards (471 m) by 64-year-old Mike Austin in 1974 at the US Senior National Open Qualifier with a 43.5 steel shafted persimmon wood driver.
