The Boys Titans Golf Team held their 1st Annual Long Drive Competition on beautiful hole 14 of the team's home course, Eastlake Country Club. Coach Barrett and Coach Matt organized the hitting session providing the players with the same three golf balls each for three opportunities to go the maximum distance. Of course, the player's ball must stay in the fairway for it to count.
Sophomore,Jacky Ahn hit first, with his longest ball measuring close to 290 yards, followed by Brandon Trevino (Sr.), Troy Nelson (Soph.), Davis Harris (Frosh.), Matthew Modelo (Frosh.), Dylan Sullivan (Sr.), then finally Alex Valdovinos (Sr.).
On Alex's last of his three drives, he maxed out at 313 yards!!! Blowing past his competition and taking home the first event's long drive plaque, Alex later on would say that he attributes his driving strength to "...drinking at least one tall glass of milk each day."
Players raised funds with donors either pledging money per yard gained based on the player's driving distance or pledging a flat fee. Thank you to all of the supporters for your generosity and support towards Eastlake Titans Golf.
And...congratulations, Alex, on the whopper!!
