We all know a good tee shot on a crucial hole can be the difference between a winner and a loser. And although driving has not been the strength of many golfers, some players, and one artist in particular, have honed the stroke of genius.
To drive the golf ball successfully, players usually have two choices. They either send it long like a missile or straight as a dart. Still, some golfers have paid attention to the science and found a way to do both.
Let's look at golf's greatest drivers of the ball and see who takes home the ultimate prize.
Golf Plus delivers to you an insider’s look at the world’s greatest golfers. Top players from the PGA, PGA Tour Champions, LPGA, and legends of the game. We showcase lifestyle pieces, golf highlights, biographies, and documentaries not seen anywhere else.

How much do you know Golf? You say to SHOOT the ball straighter. Lol. No real golf person says that.

[@epicbeardface2981]

You really should've mentioned that Moe Norman was bullied by players and officials to conform or leave the PGA so he left. He was probably the best.

[@maxbaltl6237]

So true

[@themoonster5682]

I'm glad Moe Norman got a mention. Held back by autism he made himself a great player with his own swing method and with sheer determination! Unsung hero!

[@IvanProsper]

Held back by other people's attitudes. Hopefully society has moved on since then

[@timothyslaughter476]

Calvin Peete was tiger to me before tiger....dude was so cool. That black glove....the cap....the polyester pants....gold chain....Johnny Miller raving when Peete won the players. The crooked arm i didn't even notice....just so accurate. But he had a really nice rotation through the ball with great leg action. Calvin was awesome. Golden era of golf. I used to play at a local mini with guys that reminded me of Peete. Thorpe played there occasionally. Mount Pleasant in Baltimore Maryland. Old school dudes old school golf....nice memories.

[@ddf235]

I met the best ball striker of all time more than a few times, Moe Norman.

[@cynt1111]

The best ever

[@Criscross292]

It was unreal what he could do. And he was self taught!

[@Aaronbtc4]

You are a very lucky man indeed!!!!. The golf gods smiled on you that day ..

[@sammyjones3500]

Top vid, really enjoyable. Hogan's swing is a joy to watch.

[@kcleong7135]

None can compare to the late Mike Austin in driving!

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Good video

[@rrodgers1944]

please add a video on hybrids, I just do not get how to swing these clubs

[@larryjones8928]

In the 1978 West Virginia state amateur I was playing with Mr. Bill Campbell on number nine on the old white course on the Greenbrier I drove a ball over 350 yards on the fly in a lite rain it hit an backed up a foot I was sixty steps from the flag my approach was inside a foot from the cup Mr. Campbell was amazed at what I did. I used a laminated head driver with a 2x shaft I did work out with power lifters I got strong an very flexible. I would never trade my swing with anyone I hit fairway and greens in many a round I was sorry I couldn’t try the tour for reasons beyond my own personal reasons

[@francopasta3704]

Tall tales perhaps…🤔

[@njd9143]

Slammin Sammy!

[@peterbrady1536]

Ted Ray was born in the channel island of Jersey as was Harry Vardon, the original ," Jersey Boys"

[@jamesconnolly3042]

Sam Snead could run the 100m in “under 10 seconds” ? Surely he was a great athlete, and any serious golf fan has heard the stories of him leaping over hedges with ease or kicking the ceiling or something similar. But c’mon, man 😂

[@downtoscratch]

Abe Mitchell was the longest of his era.

[@Marta_Lledo_Video_Channel]

I liked the video overall, but I think you didn't give Byron Nelson the attention he deserves. He retired early and his career lasted only 11 or 12 years. In that short time, he won 5 majors including the 1942 Masters, beating Hogan in an 18 hole playoff. He won 52 PGA events putting him 7th on the all time list. But he has also accomplished some things that will never be done again. In 1945 he won 18 tournaments including 11 tournaments in a row! Between 1942 and 1946 he had a string of 65 consecutive top 10 finishes winning 34 times and finishing second 16 more times! Somehow, when they start talking about the golfers of that era he seems to take a back seat to Hogan and Snead but he was at least their equal, and I would argue only his short career kept him from amassing numbers that would rival Snead, Nicholaus or even Tiger. Really, almost the same story fits with Bobby Jones...sadly shortened career but with 13 majors he was a bright burning star for a short time.

[@jonlanier_]

Also, Hogan couldn't win while Nelson was on tour. Nelson was in his head all the time, being rivals from youth.

[@colemacfarlane6731]

The greatest natural golf swing and the most accurate in history is none other than Moe Norman

[@Muskiehunter4841]

It’s Moe Norman

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

Tiger in the 2000 era under Butch Harmon had the best swing in golf and was the best driver of the ball. I say that because his par 5 advantage turned most courses into a par 68 for him since he was so much longer and straighter than everybody else. Oh and by the way he isn't "black". He's 50% Thai so if he's anything he's Asian. I don't know why people always say that. If he had left that 2000 era swing alone he would have passed Jack many years ago.

[@jamesnelson3615]

Please check your data. In your video you state that Sam Snead could run a 100 meter dash in under 10 seconds. He ate with us during a stay in WV at The Ebony Golf Classic. We talked about different sports and I told him I competed in the 100 yard dash in high school that year. He told me he ran a 10.0 in the 100 yard dash. Much shorter than the 100 meter. I will never forget the distance or time because it was .4 seconds faster than I had ever run. He as an amazing individual.

[@Officialtheslimer]

Don’t forget Chi Chi Rodriguez!

[@stevefoote7451]

Nicklaus, by a stretch.

[@chetroberson8023]

Most knowledgeable golfers and fans that have been around a while agree that the longest & straightest driver was Jack Nicklaus. A testament to his driving greatness was at age 40 in 1980 he led the tour in total driving with a combined score of 23, which has never been duplicated to date!

[@anonymoususer3293]

You didn't give us the one, two, three promised.

[@dirtyd3195]

If Sam Snead ran 100m in under 10 seconds he'd be Olympic Champion in those days....cmon now!

[@areguapiri]

Calvin Peete => "Mr. Accuracy"

[@seanlandry2475]

lets not forget Moe Normand !!!!!

[@golfplus_]

Can NEVER forget Moe Norman -- legend!

[@davidhaworth7152]

Greg Norman

[@jay-zeelterbilinsky3977]

Doug Sanders always in the fairway Said he left the fairway once in 3 years to get a phone number

[@jamestaylor2976]

Doug Sanders was funny. The tour misses having players that were really characters.

[@trezmala]

No Mike Austin, longest driver holder of 515 yards?

[@jimmymac601]

Sam Snead ran the 100 yard dash in 10 sec flat, not 100m.

[@federationspace5264]

snead didn't run the 100 meter dash in under 10. He might have run the 100 YARD dash in a little over 10 seconds.

[@silverfox5319]

You are 100% correct. 100 meters is approximately 120 yards. Nope, Sam definitely did NOT do it. Don't get me wrong, Sam Snead was a great athlete, but 100 meters in under 10 seconds, I don't think so.

[@hoponpop3330]

I think he meant the 100 yard dash . That’s what US HS and College runners typically ran back in the day . also the mile . The 100 meters wasn’t frequently run back in his day except internationally.

[@thebiggianthead8364]

@@silverfox5319 Just for the record it is 109.36 yards, not 120. Just want to be clear on the math as 120 is too large of error.

[@thomas1630]

in 1932 olympics Eddie Tolan won gold in a time of 10.38, Sam would have been 20.

[@darrellludlow]

I was liking your video until you threw in some random stat about Sam Snead that must have been pulled out of the air (or copied from an unvetted source.) There is no way Snead could run the 100m dash in under 10 seconds. Jim Hines first broke that barrier in 1968 when Snead would have been 57.

[@georgespalding7640]

So Bobby Jones doesn't deserve to be in this conversation?

[@user-oe7yb4tl8s]

Sam could not do 100M dash under 10s.

[@alistairmiller6473]

Why are you showing pictures of the Left Handed New Zealand golfer Bob Charles when talking about Tom Weiskopf..... Terrible mistake to make......!

[@paulg1358]

I caught that too. Fail!

[@jh58]

Ted Ray did not win the 1912 US Open and he did not win the 1920 PGA Championship. There are many other factual errors in this video. Have you ever heard of the notion of proofreading?

[@maxwellhowell]

Rory.

[@johnhurley9440]

Careless commentary.

[@jasonpyle4648]

No Greg Norman What a joke.

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Imagine playing with a pipe in one’s mouth

[@franksergiovanni1981]

3:55 It's "hallowed" not "hollowed"! why can't people get this right? Where has having more than an 8th grade vocabulary gone?

[@Aaronbtc4]

Yea such highly regarded public FOOL 8 th grade INDOCTRINATION. GET IN LINE SHEEP GET IN LINE

[@frankmcnally01]

Calvin Pete also had an injury to one of his arms and couldn't straighten it, on a lighter note Moe Norman drank 20 cans of Coke a day, hence the rotted teeth.

[@cynt1111]

Some of the modern golfers have far worse recreational habits

[@Chris-hz1fi]

Tom weiskfop or however ypu spell it
